OT ish. DIY Super Heroes
Apparently the current icebreaker at parties & social gatherings is to ask
"If you were a Superhero, what power would you have & why"? Most males want the power to fly & most females want the power of invisibility. I've given this some thought, and I want X-Ray vision. Think about it, being able to trace all those pipe & cable runs under floors, behind ceilings etc. Especially useful when working for fit young women :-) Mind you, being Spiderman would be great for clearing gutters & stuff. And how about Heat Vision for plumbers? And what chance would Iron Man have against Angle Grinder Man? So what power would you like & why? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

If so, you'd better ask for modesty instead. :-) The obvious super power is telekinesis, with the ability to manipulate sub atomic particles of course. Then you can do what you like including fly and you won't need modesty to be world dictator. |
