Wishes

I wish the diamond ring was never invented. Without it, romance would be far less expensive.

I wish the air conditioner was never invented. Without it, we would all have to rely on natural sources of cool ventilation. The skyline would be filled with countless hanging gardens that provide fresh air and spectacularly beautify the city. Man-made lakes and vast hanging pools , which serve as sources of cool breezes, would be constructed all over the metropolis, turning the landscape into a beautiful collage of green, gray and blue. Furthermore, because everyone has to breathe the unfiltered city air, automakers will be compelled to shift to clean fuels such as LPG and the urban air would be far less polluted.

I wish the high-heeled shoe was never invented. Without it, the corporate world would have no excuse to compel women to wear shoes that unnecessarily make walking very stressful. And there would be more varicose-vein free legs for men to ogle at on the streets.

I wish the shave was never invented. Without it, every man would have his face concealed beneath a thick mustache and a long beard. Girls would never know which guys are handsome and which ones are ugly. And even the ugliest men could have prettiest women!

I wish the automobile was and the motorcycle was never invented. Without them, we’d be digging canals instead of constructing concrete/asphalt highways. Instead of riding cars and motorbikes, we’d be riding jet skis and speedboats. And anytime you arrive late at work, you can always claim that you were attacked by a crocodile in the canal.

I wish the suit was never invented. Without it, male office workers in tropical countries like the Philippines wouldn’t have to sweat profusely when they leave their air-conditioned workplace. And the MRT (Metro Rail Transit) cars would be much less stinky.

I wish the perfume was never invented. Without it, no one would be hated for smelling bad.

I wish the karaoke was never invented. Without it, the murder rate in the Philippines would be much lower.

I wish the mirror was never invented. Without it, the global suicide rate would be much lower.

I wish the clock was never invented. Without it, no one would ever be late.

I wish the calendar was never invented. Without it, we’d all be ageless.
