My Super Power

[bunchofgrapes]

A friend of mine posed the question, if you could have any super power, what would it be. One person said the ability to pause, which I thought was pretty good. Think about it, you could be in the middle of a pretty horrible conversation, pause, and make your escape. A couple of people said invisibility. Yeah, standard answer. One person said the ability to blink and be someplace else. I liked this but if you got something in your eye, you could be bouncing around the world like a ping pong ball. My answer? I would like the ability to use my laser eyes to zap stupid people.

While I realize this will eventually reduce the population by several billion, and at some point I will probably zap myself, the main focus of this super power would be to zap stupid people who stop at a green light. On a busy parkway. With traffic behind them. And no emergency vehicle barreling down the cross street. They just stop dead. All because they are either lost or they missed their turn. Apparently, they were absent from driver's ed the day they taught "if you miss your turn or if you are lost, do not stop in the middle of the intersection while the light is green". So yes, these stupid drivers need to be zapped before they cause a serious accident.

Totally love the laser eyes thing, And yeah, I'd reduce the population of the stupid too... But then if we reduced the population then we wouldn't have to worry so much about global warming and overpopulation and taxation on natural resources. We could look forward to a reduction in gas and food prices....

The pause button on life would be nice too...

Hey, it's a win-win! We rid the world of stupidity and save the planet!

I like that power.

I'm not sure what I would pick.
