Obviously you haven't tried peameal.

It's a mistake I won't make again when ordering breakfast while on vacation.

1- Perfect health for my family and friends.
2- Be a virtuosa pianist and composer.
3- A credit card that pays itself and keeps a zero balance.

If I had a fourth wish I'd ask to be an evil head-fi moderator.
I'd open the Outside and CI, reset useless posters to zero count (to include myself), ban anyone I don't like AND is not funny-- ever, and give custom titles of their choice to anyone who makes a poll about soccer.

1. Infinite money
2. Illness free life
3. A post-1700 Strad

It's so difficult not to be selfish, but I just can't help it!

A considerate version would go like this:

1. Cure for AIDS, malaria, cancer, etc...
2. Clean water for everyone (FYI, most people in Africa don't have access to clean water)
3. A solution to global warming.

If you have the power, why not have all your favorite bands play for you live, rather then wasting your wishes on nerdy gear. Personally I wouldn't waste my time with either though. :P

Biggie.

He survives, walks out and see all this books every where - the library next door blew up...
He is as happy as a pig in mud but he trips, falls, and breaks his reading glasses...
The episode ends with the poor, devastated guy surrounded by rubble and books with no glasses...

There is another one with four wishes:

In the end, the shopkeeper ends up exactly where he started.

The Arabian Nights (source of the original djinni) have one where the first wish is for, ahem, serious "male enhancement". The guy's wife is so terrified with the results (even though she asked for them in the first place) that in frustration, he wishes to be rid of his mammoth instrument, and is taken at his word. In the end, his third wish is to go back to things as they were, sadder but wiser. Sindbad and Aladdin are just the PG-13 bits from some really raunchy tales...

Reinhold Niebuhr sort of answered the question in his famous prayer:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

A woman picks up a Genie bottle while running on the beach. She rubs it and out comes the Genie and he says "Oy, I've been in there for 100's of years". She asks for 3 wishes but the Genie laughs and tells her, "that's an old wives tale...you only get one".
She says "OK, I want peace in the Middle East".
He says "Lady, I've been cooped up in there a long time and I'm a litttle rusty, could you ask for something easier?"
She says, "OK, I want a man that doesn't lie, cheat, drink or gamble to have for a husband".

The Genie responds, "I'll get working on that Middle East thing"

I guess I would ask these things:

1- Get the sensibility back in m hands.
2- Have a perfectly healthy pair of ears again.
3- Improve as a person and as a father.

1) A tree that grows Nordost Valhalla cables.
2) Levitating the system.
3) Gamble with Genie and win 1 extra wish. Genie says "cables make no difference". I say "hear for yourself". Genie says "aaahh, extra wish granted".
3) Clean power.
4) Something to plug Valhalla cables into.
