OT ish. DIY Super Heroes

[The Medway Handyman]

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?

Is WD-40 Man already taken?

Cleans, penetrates, lubricates...

I have the power to lose all your money and get strung from a lamppost when you find me.???

Think you'll be needing the power of invisibility to go with that...

Teleportation.

"Bing" yourself to work, bing back. No more expensive trains or being stuck in traffic.

In fact, why bother working... Bing into a bank vault and stock up...

[Ronald Raygun]

If so, you'd better ask for modesty instead. :-)

[ARWadsworth]

Of course some people would just use it to fetch a beer from the fridge.

I know blokes who would "bing" to the wife, tell her to fetch it from the fridge and then "bing" back to the sofa...

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.

[ARWadsworth]

Well you have to keep 'em on their toes haven't you?

In message , The Medway Handyman writes

I'm "Stand around and add useful comments" man

[ARWadsworth]

That's not a super hero power.

But what would DenBoy be then?

CCTV inspector man? BTW the old bag on the CCTV footage has been charged for throwing the cat into the bin.

I think a handy one for DIYers would be "Knows exactly where every tool is in the garage man". If not that, how about "Molegrip man"? ;-)
