Heh, I love misspent Wishes... back in one of my first times running AD&D (back in '80 or so I think) the thief separated from the party, looking for treasure.He eventually found the treasury, and ducked inside, when to his horror the door shut and disappeared behind him. After trying to find a way out he took out his ring of 3 Wishes and said 'Make me a door!' Paff! He was a door.
Sometime later the rest of the party found their way to the treasury, and being paranoid types spiked the door open so they could see down the hallway. There in the middle of the room was a door, lying in the middle of the treasure. So the wizard cast Detect Magic, and sure enough the door and several other items started glowing.
Convinced that they had found a powerful, one of a kind magic item they took the door with them out of the dungeon. They never did find out what it was, or why the player who used to have a thief kept laughing. As far as I know they carry it with them yet.
Or the person who, having found a mysterious bottle first shook it, then after taking the stopper out rattled a stick around in side of it, then when mist began pouring out of it took a big snort, only after snuffing him up and exhaling to discover a rather irate genie who, grasping his hair in frustration yelled what to you want?!!!'
To which she replied 'A little respect if you please!'
Upon which the the genie said 'As you wish dear lady' and vanished.
