I wish I knew what to wish for.

Ta-da! You know exactly what to wish for (whatever it is). However, you blurt it out in public and somebody who happened to be standing next to you (somehow) make millions of dollars off of what you said. After you lose every earthly possesion you own in a futile attempt to sue the guy, you roam the world as a hopeless bum.

I wish I had a bunch of fake flowers so I could burn them.
