Default What would you wish for?

If you were given one wish, anything you wanted, what would you wish for? Nothing like "I wish for another thousand wishes", just one.

I've been thinking about it, and for the life of me I can't think of one (afterall, you're only given this one wish).

I'll make a wish that can't backfire.
I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and, <and> I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises. You got it?

yeah but here is a twisted view of that wish, with no one dying out we would then suffer overpopulation which would then leed to us either 1. demlolisting all forests for more land 2. starving to death. or 3. holding a "lottery"

The trouble with getting your one wish granted is that the granter of the wish may have a warped sense of conditions attached. Ask for a few million bucks and you'll get it from everybody who means something to you making all of them destitute (and no, you can't give some back). Ask for a happy life, but what does that entail and what are the ramafications for the rest of the universe. Remember the movie with Elizabeth Hurley playing the devil and granting someone wishes? Can you word your wish to take care of any and all contingencies? Pretty tough. Neat to fantisize, though.
