So this is the proverbial "Rub a lamp, 3 wishes granted routine?"
Well in retrospect to my constant desires that I pray for often I would say...
1. A global initiative to build deep space vessels and satellites that piggy back all signals to be released 1 per year. As they travel further away they would always have a lifeline communication link that would be upgraded with firmware updates via a network of satellites that would be released each year by a command center.
2. A global control of birth rates that limit all births to 2 each per household. Adoption would be capped at 4 children max. - All sex offenders, rapists and molesters would have to be chemically castrated. - Invetrofertialization would be banned and adoption the method of obtaining a child.
3. All resources would exist in a global pool whereby allocation of the resources would simply go to those who need them at the time. An equal goal of housing, clean air, food and water would be enough for any man to continue working to help his fellow man. All medicine, housing, schooling and resource allocation would be centralized and there would be no royalty in that society. All humans would exist at the same economic level with the incentives being that of extra food rations, tobacco and alcohol, gasoline, vacation times.
It's lofty but doable.

In books I have read, the third wish has to be to undo the problems caused by the first two wishes.

Great question! Love the responses!
1. One more day with my father. A fine and wise man.

2. One more day with my grandfather. A fine and wise man.

3. The wisdom to know what to ask them.

you know, supposedly God asked Solomon what he wanted - wealth, power, women, etc. Solomon said "wisdom." God said "good for you. Since you asked for wisdom, you will get that, plus those other things."
although, perhaps the wisdom of having 1000 wives might be questioned.

1 to have my family at my bedside when I die.2 To see all the people I have wronged in life and try to make amends. 3 to see my Mother and Father and tell them how much I loved them and did not show It that much The old cajun

1. Enough money to be happy

2. My own home and land

3. A man cave that is a real cave. Why not?
Couple recliners and a nice big walk in humidor in the cave for baccy and a large pipe rack on the wall. Big TV and stereo system with a large library of movies. And a regular delivery from the beer truck and baccy wagon. Large gun cabinet with the essentials in it. Everyone has their own idea of what the essentials would be in a gun cabinet/safe.
Hey, they are wishes, right?

1. Wisdom
2. A continually kind and loving heart to all people, including the most unlovable of human beings.
3. And, because even the most spiritually inclined human beings have, well... human desires; a music production company owned and operated by none other than yours truly.

1. I'd really like one of those animated avatars!

2. I'd like flea season (or election season) to be over, (soon it will be)

3. Just filthy gobs of money; obscene quantities of cold hard cash; lots of money; I'll take Canadian, dollars, or pounds sterling.
