My Super Power...

| | Comments (2)

My wife had reason to remind me out loud of my Super Power this evening as we drove home.

"Another streetlight went out...just as you drove under it!  Couldn't you come up with a better Super Power?"

This has happened to me at least once a week since I was a kid.  Whether I drive, walk, or bike under them, streetlights go out as I pass beneath.  I don't even notice anymore, except a for a vague feeling of accomplishment.

I can think of other Powers I might like to have, but at least this is something.  Of course to please the wife, I'd have to be able to turn stuff into chocolate or something like that....that is, if it's possible to please a wife.

Trust me, if you turned it into dark chocolate, she'd want white. Or vise versa.

My daughter and I have this same power. I suspect that we are spontaneous neutron emitters. The neutrons interfere with the plasma flux in the lamp (that's the bulb-shaped thing that actually turns electricity into light) and makes the lamp re-cycle. Cool power though, eh?
