What is your secret super power?
I used to think that I was "Rain Man" in that I could control the likelyhood
of rain by virtue of wether there was a project I needed to get done. At other times, I began to believe that I was "Requires Stiches Man", a persona which usually manisifeted near the end of a project. I have come, in time, to discover that I am in fact "Garbage Pickup Man", because I can control when the guys show up to retrieve my garbage. If I wait until morning to put my garbage out then they, by the force of my superower, will show up one half hour before I wake. If I put out my garbage the night before, then they do not show until mid -afternoon, assuring that every dog in the neighbothood will have a shot at covering my lawn with my own refuse. I had hoped for some cool power like invisibility, or the power of mind control, but I guess I will live with "Garbage Pickup Man" for now. Does anyone else have some sort of superpower? Maybe, "Broken Bandsaw Blade at 9:01 at Night Man", or "Air Gun Trigger Breaks One Nail Into Project Man". Just wondering. |

I am "SomeOneWantsAFrenchHornNow" guy. I can go for months without making
one and then I get the urge to start bending and right away someone contacts me wanting one. LLB "James F. Newell" wrote in message ...

I have the power to, by merely dropping it as little as an inch, send a wrench or screwdriver rocketing across the shop at such velocity as to render the tool momentarily invisible.

I can cause any product or service to go on sale just by purchasing it a week earlier at full price. |

Neighbors who haven't called or waved in a year, are suddenly on the front porch after a crisis. 9-11 sound familiar? I, so badly, wanted to send them out for all the bananas they could find.

I can make the price of silver or gold go up just by selling some.
Likewise, I can make it go down by buying some. [1] Dave Hinz [1] Note that this power doesn't seem to be working lately; I"m buying, _and_ it's going up. |
