      “You expected me to grant the letter of your wish in a way that subverted the spirit of your wish or you wouldn’t have put ‘that works how I expect it to’ on the end. I fulfilled your expectations exactly as requested. Having a 10-inch penis on your forehead was exactly the sort of result you expected given how too-good-to-be-true your stumbling onto my lamp was, was it not?”
