I wish for a turkey sandwich on rye bread with lettuce and mustard, and, I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises. (lemmy.radio)

AND (because it won't fit in the title) In no way should the granting of this wish involve the country of Turkey or the broader Turkic peoples.

Granted. It's... Fine. It's a fairly serviceable sandwich. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly earthbreaking.

You are filled with a sense of regret. Disappointment, even. You were hoping for more, even if it was just an interesting story. But no, you spent one of your limited wishes on just a sandwich.
