Every chat site there is comes up with this once in a while, so it is time for answers from my supremely fascinating blog - the one with all the important answers (cough, splutter, choke) ....
Anyway I will take the usual liberties in stretching the facts (or how do you turn three into 4.7?).
So your fairy godmother (sounds like a drag queen from an English pantomime - anyway) turns up, wand in hand, and offers you three wishes. Sorry, offers ME three wishes (let's get it right - who else matters???? I have that on good authority from an American conservative I was talking to online yesterday. If you are not greedy and selfish, there must be something wrong with you. OK?)
What would I (!!!!!!) choose?
1. To be permanently 25 (intellectual peak, physical peak, all the moodiness of youth behind you .... cough, splutter, choke).
2. To be the proverbial God's gift to women (actually as an atheist I need an alternative phrase to "God's gift", but you get the picture?). This also implies (not an additional wish, hence! Add evil grin smiley here!) that you have the physical means to keep them all happy. (Falls into a proverbial faint at the thought).
3. To have a job in line with my expectations (ho, ho, how to include about six wishes in one statement - job satisfaction, interesting work in a location where you would like to be, adequate salary which will keep you out of debt, boss you would like to work for usw.).
Not in the list? A house (a 3 to 4 room apartment would do, can be rented, as long as I can afford it. When I was 25 I was out much of the time anyway), car (can't drive, no interest in learning), children (cough, splutter, choke, cough again, choke again ....), all the other material possessions that people crave. Not really. Happy with my choice.
Anyone know an effective, 100% competent fairy godmother? I need her (????) services, and QUICKLY!
