Two wishes?

Question

I've always loved the question of, "If you had three wishes, what would they be?"

My question is, if you had two wishes, what would they be? Two wishes because everyone wishes for wealth - so one wish is all ready granted. Essentially, I'm asking, what would be the other two? (If you don't want wealth, then you can wish for something else).

Now, there are LIMITS to these wishes:

1) No wishing for more wishes.

2) You cannot bring anyone back from the dead.

3) You cannot force someone to fall in love with you.
and finally...
4) You cannot wish for the death of anyone.

...now, with those limits set, let me just say that if you find a creative way of wishing for those things, other than just outright wishing for it, it may come true.

Finally, this genie is a good genie, so while it is always a good idea to be careful in the wording of your wish and what you wish for, this genie isn't going to turn your wishes against you.

Enjoy!

Answer 1

Wish for another genie that will offer me this same scenario. Then I'll have endless wishes. Wish to be wise so I'll make the best wishes.

Answer 2

1. I'd wish for a time machine.First, I would go back in time and tell my paternal grandpa and maternal grandma to go to the doctor much earlier. Additionally, I'd tell my Grandpa to stop working at the steel mill and tell my Grandma to start exercising more and eating healthier. They both died in the hospital, my grandpa 11 years ago and my grandma on June 28, and that's not the place I'd like to die in. Then I'd use the time machine to go back to my first day of college and tell myself 2 things. First, go home and hug your mom. My first day of college happened to be 9/11. Second, you have ADD so go get tested so you can qualify for services and other sorts of help.
2. I'd wish for a spacecraft similar to the Orion on Stargate SG-1. Instead of the bombers in the hanger I'd have a few Puddlejumpers. FYI: Puddlejumpers are mini scouting ships that can become invisible and can fit through a Stargate.

Answer 3

I RP in the Furry community regularly. So my first wish would be:

"I wish that mankind would have sufficient understanding and technology to allow ourselves to take any physical form of our choosing in a healthy and reversable manner."

Presumably, such knowledge and technology would be sufficiently advanced to cure all disease (hey, the Genie is good, I don't have to be! ;) ).


My primary character is a fifteen trillion year old anthropomorphic wolf who subsists by virtue of being a nanotechnologically enhanced being.

"I wish, for me personally, to have all the aspects of my primary 'alt' online, including his nano and quantum scale technologies, plus his neural interface node for those devices."


Now then, mankind would be set and I'd be effectively a god. So since I didn't wish for wealth, and wouldn't, I'd have to ask one thing more.

"I wish that my patience and understanding will never be clouded by this new power and I will use it as I and my character use it -- with nothing but kindness and respect for other people's rights to be who and what they are."

To have a non-denominational and inter-racial convention. So, that we wouldn't look at our differences but what we share in common. There is now no Jew or Greek but all are one and the same. In a diverse universe we are a university.
