Or a jetpack with no fuel.

He only said wish once and had everything in one sentence. Would that only count as one wish?

If no, what if he said "I wish I owned a shipping container, and all of its contence, which include a pile of money, a jetpack, and blah blah". Where's the line?

1 wish = 1 subatomic particle.

AVincentInSpace ,

Wish granted. Your shipping container is currently in a junkyard somewhere in southeastern Peru. Not telling you where exactly or in which junkyard but I will let you know it is near the bottom of the pile and the door is thoroughly blocked off. It's also pretty well hidden behind a bunch of other crap, and you won't be able to see it unless you're looking for it, which is a problem since I'm also not telling you what color it is. Also, if you do find it, the Peruvian government are more than likely going to want an export tax on anything you bring home. But believe me, it is there, and you own it. I will also not help you convince the owner of the junkyard of either of those two facts.

Man I wish I never even found this stupid lamp.

Scubus ,

I wish for more genies. I wish that I could wish for more wishes. I wish for the ability to grant my own wishes. I wish that every wish I've ever made/will make comes true. I wish for the genie to lose the ability to count.

metallic_substance ,

Devil's advocate here. The whole point of having the wish-giver be a sentient being is to filter bullshit loopholes like that. I like the idea of a highly moderate genie that takes his job seriously

Historically genie (Jinn) wishes are always Monkey Paws, you just got shitted on six ways from Sunday, not least of which is being turned into a djinn.

Alithea Binnie : There's no story about wishing that is not a cautionary tale. None end happily. Not even the ones that are supposed to be jokes.

Genie : But you and I are the authors of this story, and we can avoid all traps.

elvith ,

Be embarrassed by something: God, I wish I was de... fuck

PR3CiSiON ,

Just use a lot of "ands" in the first wish. I wish for a pile of money and a jetpack and a lava lamp. Now I still have two wishes left

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Alright, I guess I'm gonna have to be the one to ask: What is actually going on with the blue homie's nips in this one?

GBU_28 ,

What about hisOHMYGAWD!!!

M137 ,

The nips are fine. It's the moobs that stick out, literally.

I don't understand how you made that error, it's like seeing someone with bulging eyes and saying "what's wrong with his pupils".

Empricorn ,

Wow, that takedown. RIP in peace.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Ah, classic anatomy error. Must brush up on my Latin.

It took me far too long to get this one - like why would an all-powerful genie be vulnerable to such a simple science trick? But probably what made the genie be that powerful was the voice of Robin Williams or Will Smith, and all other genies are inferior:-P.

Floshie ,

Because he knew that the guy did not wish for sunglasses that immunes them. So the guy wishing has no idea he had wished

There are so many ways this could go:-).

p1mrx ,

"Whoa cool, I just found a jetpack, a pile of money, a neuralyzer, and a genie."

Empricorn ,

or Will Smith

*triggered*

No offense, but Robin Williams stands alone on that pedestal. (Please don't slap me)

It's a voice acting job - he's in another, separate room, so we should be safe. Yeah he had a great career, then that, and that'll be all that we remember for a long time if not forever.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

Damn, I must be under-caffeinated. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why the dude would have neuralized himself.

Life is pain, sometimes. Maybe he remembers what happened on Reddit too vividly but would rather forget.:-)
