General Question

Would you like to play "twisted wishes"?

Asked by phoenyx (7406points) June 5th, 2008

It’s an old forum game that I thing you clever folks would enjoy. How it works: you grant the wish of the previous poster, but grant it in an unfortunate way or a way that they wouldn’t expect, then you make a wish of your own.

Examples:
I wish I didn’t have so much homework.

—————————————————————————

Granted! You get kicked out of school.
I wish I were taller.

—————————————————————————

Granted! Your neck grows to be 10 feet long.
I wish I had more hair.

—————————————————————————

Granted, but it all starts growing on your back.
I wish for a million wishes!

—————————————————————————

Granted, but they are all twisted wishes.
etc.
