"I wish I had more money than I could spend in the rest of my life."
A copper piece and a very short life.

Honorary mention from an old What's New with Phil and Dixie comic from Dragon Magazine.

"I used to be a rogue until I wished for a million bucks."

Player, smugly: "I wish to permanently and completely acquire the petrifying gaze attack of a medusa, while fully retaining all of my own abilities, wealth, and relationships."

“I wish to live forever.“

Isn't there some Ancient Greek legend about someone who got eternal life but not eternal youth, and eventually aged into becoming a grasshopper?
