What's Your Superpower?

Clapping makes people who hear it have orgasms.

Just think of the applications!

So that's been my problem. So much wasted couples therapy sessions!

Actually, being deaf has created a superpower for me: I can smell things ordinary mortals can't.

I can misspell in six languages.

I can sleep through anything. Just call me Dr. Ignoro!

I can find the most obscure typos in any manuscript or document... except my own, of course.

I can wiggle my ears independently of each other.
It's endearing and not at all freakish, I assure you.

Damn. Now I need to make one of my dragon characters wiggle his/her ears!

Thanks.

If I could have a superpower of any kind it would be to be able to write a publishable & polished book in one sitting.

I think I'd like Patrick Stewart's superpower in Extras.

I was thinking about that scene the other day and giggling uncontrollably. Quotes from it come up naturally in conversation, now. "And I mean everything."

That they were both able to keep straight faces for that scene is oscar-worthy acting in itself

Having thought about this long and hard (for about a minute), I most definately want the ability to cause people pins and needles.

I actually have extraordinary hearing.

It's a blessing and a curse.

I already have a super power. I can eat more chocolate than anybody.

ellipses....






no, wait.

I repel women in a single bound

OUCH!

When I was in high school, I wanted to be invisible so I could go into the girl's locker room.

Now I want to be invisible so that I can avoid chores around the house.

And so that I can go around randomly kicking people in the bottom end.

I did not want this power, but it came unbidden. I can attract dust and pollen from enormous distances without lifting a finger or even an intent.

I can sleep for hours on end!

I totally forgot my OTHER superpower. No matter where I go, old people are drawn to me to tell me their most intimate, personal stories... or what they had for breakfast. I'll be trying to choose onions from a bin at Walmart and - shazam! - some old man or old lady is suddenly asking me a question, looking for directions, commenting on the produce, or complaining about the lighting. Ol' Boy claims I have a tattoo across my forehead that says, "TALK TO ME!" that only old people can see.

It's my penance for all the people my dad used to waylay for a chat as I was growing up.

Oh, really?

**rolls up sleeves**

**loosens belt**

There can be only one.

OFG, I have a similar superpower of the unwanted variety.

Strangers will frequently tell me things about themselves that I don't want to know. It doesn't happen as often as it used to, but there'll still be occasions where someone will just start talking about anything that's on their mind. Usually strangers.

Oh, and the most common one is what I get when I'm smoking. It's always the same:

Them: You don't seem like a smoker.
Me: I'm trying to quit.
Them: Yeah, I don't smoke, but I do take <pot/coke/whatever>.

I reckon if I were a plain-clothes cop, I could make a whole bunch of arrests no problem.

Ain't it the truth, Cliff? Sometimes I feel like I ought to stop them and say, "Should i turn my collar around? Is this confession?"

Why on earth do people tell their most intimate secrets to unknown people on the street?
