What's Your Superpower???

I often find myself wishing that I had just one day, even just one moment of one hour of one day, where I could say anything or do anything and not a soul would remember it. Maybe this would even be my superpower, if I could have one. Some might use this power for evil v. good, but I think it would best be suited somewhere in between, to enact all the little sarcasms and tiny stabs we would like to take at people at whom we frown upon during the daily grind. Barring, of course, any permanent damage.

Take for instance this sign (see photo). Now, being ruled by the general moral fiber of the civilized American culture, we wouldn't dream of actually allowing a perhaps unruly (but certainly darling) child to ingest mass amounts of caffeine, and then give him or her a small, helpless animal which they would in turn be certain to inflict some sort of bodily harm upon. BUT, wouldn't it be great if you could? And not get caught? Clarity Check: That would be great to punish the parents of said darling child, not wish harm on unsuspecting furry animal.

Now, if you don't happen to be near a. an espresso machine (but how can you really be far from a Starbucks?) or b. a pet store, you could certainly transcend this act of kindness into other useful forms: see a. the "phantom" spanking or b. dismembering of noisy toy.

This could also work on adults! See a. reconstructive bluetooth surgery or b. unexplained mishap forces "I am incapable of whispering" movie talker to leave early. I don't know. At least this will give you food for thought during the morning hours of your workday tomorrow. Daydream about how you could make it work in your office.

Now I know some will argue that the ability to fly or be invisible are much superior superpowers. Don't be so cliche; branch out and discover your own creative superpower. Then post it on the blog. The gauntlet has been thrown down. The gloves are off. I'm excited to see what you come up with.
