Teleportation, of course!
Oct. 2nd, 2007 08:16 amLast night on my way home from knitting I stopped at Whole Foods to get some bread (and bananas and a tomato). After paying, the checkout dude asked me if I could have one superpower besides invisibility (or invincibility, I didn't quite hear) what would it be.
I answered rather quickly - Teleportation. I think he was a little surprised that I answered so definitely and quickly and didn't give him a funny look and say "WHAT?!?"
The truth is I've thought about it before. It would be a really good superpower! It could be used to avoid danger (teleport yourself and/or others out of a dangerous situation), to travel without having to pay all those plane tickets, and it would be an awesome party trick. Just think, when some skeevy guy is staring down your shirt you could just teleport across the room, and he would be so drunk he would just be really confused. Or, as my roommate suggested last night, you could teleport to some faraway location and bring something back.
Yes, I think I made the right choice.
P.S. After contemplating this guy from my high school Creative Writing class I decided to Google him last night. He is, more or less, a normal person... maybe. He's a software developer and still lives around where we grew up.
