I believe in fairies

I met a fairy today who said she would grant me one wish.

"I want to live forever," I said.

"Sorry" said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"

"Fine," I said, "I want to die after Ed Miliband gets the Labour Party
re-elected to the Government of Britain!"

"You crafty bastard," said the fairy.
