A wish to live forever

i met a magical fairy yesterday who said she would grant me one wish.


“i wish to live forever,” i said.


“sorry,” said the fairy, “i’m not allowed to grant that particular wish”


“fine,” i said, “then i want to die the day after congress is filled with honest, hard working, bipartisan men and women who act only in the people's best interests!”


“you crafty devil,” replied the fairy.
