Granted, but you miss the 2nd low five that would have completed the Top Gun high five combo and are now devastated

(sound warning)
Granted. The monkey's paw sneaks up behind you and gives you the ultimate High five, which is a very morose slang term for HIV (Hi-V).
Granted. This high five, and all others that will come after, will never have that satisfying {clap} sound or feeling, but your friends, family members, and co-workers will get it every time.
Alternative
Every one of your high five afterwards will be the clap sound effect from most modern pop hits.

It would make more sense to say that the high-five from a magic chimp would be so good that even the best high five after would not even be in the same category, thus would not even be worth doing. Which most of the time would not matter, but some people might think you're being a jerk.

I have no idea on that but if it's a really punch-y sound (like in the Friends theme song) I can't see that being bad. Sorry, only thing I can thing of.
I could see a sound effect being funny maybe but probably just annoying or maybe just boring if it matters at all.
Granted. The paw appears before your eyes and gives you such a strong high five, you break your third metacarpal.
Darn, that's on me I guess
Granted. Cheech, Chong, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and Seth Rogan all magically appear in front of you, eyes bloodshot.
They pat their pockets, pull them inside out, and look around confused.
All at once, their glazed eyes settle on you.
If you had any weed, it seems to have disappeared. In fact, it's disappeared worldwide.
They seem to be getting more agitated and angry at you as they become an increasingly less high five.
Willie grabs a kitchen knife.
You start to run.
Granted. The monkey’s paw was infected with super malaria, and now you are too.
...or monkey pox.

With your wish supposedly granted, a dazzling array of lights fills your view as you are transported through time and space to an otherworldly jungle.
Before you is a 3-eyed primate, whom you gather is the very same wish-granter in their original form, holding their hand up in the air expecting your reaction.
Moments pass. The smile fades from the chimp's face as they are left hanging while your reality-lagged brain tries to process your surroundings. You swing your arm but...
You were too slow. As your hand fails to connect to another... your body falls forward onto the ground, already dead from the sheer disappointment (or perhaps a severe high-five deficiency).
Granted
The monkey paw appear mid air ahead of you, an invisible force freeze your body and with terrific strength rip off your right hand. The hand fly off and high five the paw, then the paw disappear. You can move now but your hand is gone.
ouch
This is my favourite Monkey's Paw yet
Granted. You are now teleported 5km above the earth’s stratosphere
Why tho
