Here's a Quick Question

The answer to the following question can determine your personality more accurately than any MMPI ever could.
    Would you rather fly or be invisible?
   It really is that simple. You have two choices of a superpower. You can either fly or turn invisible. At will. You can't have both. You can't fly while invisible, you don't turn invisible while you're flying, you don't need wings, everything you wear or carry turns invisible, anything you eat turns invisible too, you aren't flying constantly if you don't want to...
   Look, don't make a great big production out of this, just answer the damned question. Fly or invisible?
    I've asked this question of many, many people over the years, and then I asked them their reasoning. Why would you want to fly? Or why would you want to be invisible? The answers always - ALWAYS - fall into two fairly specific categories, which put them into two distinct personality types. So go ahead, make your choice. I'll wait. No fair reading ahead.

   Done? Made your choice?
   Okay, people who said they wanted to fly were noble souls, they wanted to be up in the clouds, soaring free, unfettered by earthly constraints. Dreamers, poets, saints.
   People who wanted to be invisible were - to a man - thieves and perverts. They wanted to be invisible to steal cash or get into the girls' locker room. Or steal cash from the girls' locker room.
   You perverts know who you are...

  1. What does it say about me if I want to fly just to avoid L.A. traffic? Still noble but practical too?
