The Corrupted Wish Game

[Jeunemaitre]

I wish the construction equipment and huge piles of dirt outside my office window would go away.

Granted. The pieces of construction equipment and piles of dirt have left the space outside your office window, but they've started moving toward your home (not the piles of dirt of course, they have much more pressing things to accomplish today, not least of which is tracking down the company that installed the sewer lines through the patch of ground that they previously constituted). If I were you, I'd start heading for that mud puddle in front of your door. If you're lucky you'll get there in time to stop the bulldozer. Hopefully, you're friend will come by and talk the forman into lying down in place of you so the two of you can pop down the pub for a pint or two...

(You know, I have a harder time trying to think of what to wish for than trying to think of how to answer the previous wish.)

I wish that I had some happy news to brighten my day.
(Remeber the rules: the corruption can't undo the granting!)
