I can remember my Granddad always said this when ever I really wanted something and would say I wish I had so-so, and he would say that if wishes were horses...than I can't remember the rest. I guess it was supposed to motivate me to stop wishing and work to get what I wanted.

If wishes were horses, I'd own a glue factory.

... then I'd know the answer to the question "What if a Genie granted you 3 wishes?"
I would say "Palomino, Pinto and Thoroughbred."

I had always heard:
If a frog had wings, it wouldn't be bumping it's butt.
Wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see what gets filled up the fastest.
