A Wish

I met a fairy today that said she would grant me one wish.
"I want to live forever." I said.
"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"
"Fine," I said, "then I want to die the moment after the government figures itself out and lays out a clear path for the future of this nation."
"You crafty #@!" said the fairy.
Moral of the Story: You can ask for the impossible, you just have to make sure to word it correctly.
