It occurred to me today that there might be a loophole in the genie wish system, that one of you out there could exploit. Should the time come that you find a genie lamp and get three wishes you'll be glad you read this. Hopefully you don't find one of those genies that only give you one wish, LAME! right? One wish, and you know you can't wish for more wishes, not with those cheap genies... actually I think the "wish for more wishes" loophole has long been fixed. There's no way they'd fall for that one anymore, my guess is if you'd wish for more wishes they'd give you one more wish (meaning they'd just replace the wish you used to make that wish) ANYWAY none of that has to do with the loophole in the system, all that is just setting up the ground work of mutual understanding having to do with the genie system in general.
So lets say you wish for a car and a pot of gold. 2 wishes right? yeah I agree. But what if you wish for a car with a pot of gold inside? AH? One wish! What? you disagree? Ok what if I wishes for a car with big tires? you can agree that's one wish, right? sure. Well then there has to be a gray area of wishes. I want you to get the most out of your wishes. BTW don't wish for a pot of gold in a car, gold is too heavy and would probably ruin the car. So you should be able to combine wishes into one wish, that's the loophole! I wish for a top of the line 7 series BMW with a trunk filled with (shares of apple stock)($100 bills)(diamonds). If you're really smart wish for something like 10 prototypes of a safe cold fusion reactor with the plans on top, BOOM you're soon to be the richest person ever.*1
So wishing advice, be careful what you wish for. You don't know this genie from Adam, you don't know if he's the kind of genie that tries to twist what you said into something horrible.*2 Like I wish for a Ferrari, you get a toy Ferrari or whatever. You wish for a ton of money, the money appears over your head and falls on you breaking your neck.(forcing you to use another wish to fix that) things like that. Wait on the wishing, get to know the genie, there's no rush.
Wish for something that keeps on giving. for example "I wish every time I reach into wallet theres a $500 in cash." Now a tricky genie will just withdraw that money from your account... annoying waste of a wish. See get to know the genie. A lot fo people in casual conversation make wishes, so watch yourself while getting to know your genie. If you say in passing you wish you didn't have to go into work today... doh wasted wish. Reading minds, telekinesis, invisibility, all good, still think it through. A wish of reading mind that uncontrollable would be horrible, constant noise of thoughts.
Don't wish for world peace, I could write a book on why that's a bad idea. Lets sum it up as don't wish for world changes, it's too broad, don't put that kind of power into the hands of a genie. Any world change requires millions if not billions of desisinos made in order for it to happen.
Last tip, Avoid wishes pertaining to time traveling. Messing with time is very hard to undo, remember chaos theory, the butterfly flaps it's wings and kicks up pollen that makes a buffalo sneeze causing a stampede, causing a storm... of course that's exaggerated a lot but still the idea is valid. Every change you make in history WILL have unimaginable consequences.
*1 unless you are killed by big oil companies, or some other ubber rich business that you will make obsolete.
*2 "But Aladdin's genie was wonderful!" Don't make me slap you! That's a movie, and it's not real.

I wish that Dave would post hilarious blog posts like this every day! A gift that keeps on giving. Heh.
Thank you. This is a great public service. I must say that footnote *2 is one of the best footnotes. evar.
this post is just about the best thing I've read on the internet, ever. :)
I have one. If the genie says the wishing rules, wish that those very rules didnt exist. So you can do whatever you want!
Things to wish for
1. Unlimited Amount of wishes
2. Your set for life
But then the rule of the genie having to give you wishes leaves also
