Once upon a time, I tripped over a small lamp in the middle of the road. It was quite grubby, so I wiped it clean. To my great surprise, a genie popped out and said, "You have three wishes! Choose wisely!" Unbeknown to anyone, it was written in the (unwritten) binding genie contract that the wishes were more open to interpretation than literal translation. Oblivious to this, the air became electric with excitement - it was time for wish number one... "I wish I could turn into a cat whenever I wanted" "Done!" "I wish I really did have 9 lives!" "Done!" Ecstatic, I wondered what else to wish for. It was awesome enough being a cat with nine lives, what else!? Delighted with the results of her previous wishes, she tackled her last with a grin. "I wish that I'll be this happy for the rest of my life!" "Granted" said the genie, slowly pulling out a gun. And she was.

THE END
