"I wish that this sandwich had some mayo on it." Suddenly the sandwich changed and a layer of mayonnaise appeared between the meat and the salad. Peter bit the sandwich again. "What the...?"
Peter dropped the sandwich onto the carpet, and it rolled over, leaving a white trail of mayonnaise across the floor.
"Ah shit!" said Peter, getting a cloth before kneeling down and scrubbing the mayonnaise into the carpet. "I wish there were an easier way of getting this stain out."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Peter opened it and there stood a woman. "Hello there, Peter. You have been selected to try out this brand new carpet cleaner for free!

She was wearing her usual work clothes, short skirt, black tights and high heels, white blouse, loads of make up.
Angela looked at Peter. "What am I doing here?"
Peter smiled. He could do anything he liked with her, but where to start? He held out the rock. "I wish that Angela was..."
