The Town of Odyssey

You get your wish, but then the world comes to an end...


I wish that I could stay on the compy a bit longer.

You get to stay on the comp all day, but internet stops working.

I wish we weren't having beef fajitas.

You aren't having beef fajitas tonight because you're having them the next three nights.


I wish that it would snow here!

Is does snow but it snow so much that it covers your house and you can't get out!

I wish that my parents will let me go to the movies tomorrow with my friend!

Your parents let you go to the movies tomorrow with your friend, but when you get back you find out that your mom put everything in your room on ebay.

I wish everyone on the ToO has a very merry Christmas.

They do, but then everything goes wrong for everyone, and they all cream you.

I wish I could understand Geometry.

You do understand it but you still flunk Geometry.

I wish I could write the great American novel.

You do, but it doesn't create any money because people copied it and all that. Pirated it off the interent!

I wish I could get my sister off ponybox to go home.

Wish granted, but then she plays ponybox at home.

I wish someone would stop reviving topics that haven't been written on in 13 years.

They do, but then the next poster messes up the format and doesn't wish for anything.

Implied wish granted, but someone comments anyway about how the implied wish is fulfilled both by your not wishing for anything and by further continuing the messed up format.

I wish I didn't have so much trouble talking to people.

...

I wish I could reply to people using more than just ellipsis.

your wish is granted but you can only reply to people with an additional comma to the ellipsis

I wish for three more wishes.

Granted, but due to inflation they're worth less than a third of a wish's original value.

I wish Google respected people's privacy.

Granted, but Facebook somehow gets worse at respecting people's privacy.

I wish I didn't have a cold.

Granted. You're (re?)tested, and it's discovered that instead of having a cold, you have the flu.

I wish that instead of electoral votes, there were electrical votes.

^^This cracked me up so much

Wish granted, except by electrical they meant the electric slide and votes are only valid upon successful completion of the dance.

I wish I had an extra week to finish my tasks.

Granted, but due to unforeseen circumstances you have one week on Jupiter which is approx 70 hours instead of Earth's 168.

I wish the town barber didn't drive everyone underground. (will anybody get this reference?)

Granted. The barber and barbershop are unbelievably popular. However, there are some downsides to this. Everyone goes there to hang out, which creates some problems, as they leave off working their regular jobs to do this, so that the only time any stores are open is when the barber is away. You have to file an appointment to get your hair cut now, as the barber's schedule is too busy for walk-ins, and there's no alternative way of getting one, since all the other barbers within thirty miles closed up shop, and stores (during the few times they're open) refuse to sell or deliver hair-cutting products that might compete with this great barber. The traffic is awful: there's a single-file line all across and around the town to get to the barbershop, all on roads that have the right of way, so not only do you have to wait in line for hours to get a haircut, you have to wait even longer to go someplace else. Finally, due to the law of supply and demand, the barber raises prices so that now it costs $200 for a basic haircut.

I wish that candy was healthy.
