Self Awareness. The ability to be aware that I need to take this act on the road...as in somewhere else besides here.

I'd like to be able to harness the power of lightning and use it to kill off my enemies. Second choice would be to have the ability to turn an acorn into a can of PBR.

Hmmm... those Sith Lords were pretty good with that lightning thing in Star Wars, but I don't think I saw any of them turning tree seeds into various alcoholic beverages. Just picture Darth Maul downing a can of PBR before carrying on with a light saber battle.

The ability to get others to hand their money over to me willingly.

So get a job as a cashier.
vertigo 2 years, 9 months ago
I don't think cashiers get to keep the money given to them. I usually see them put that money in a register which I assume later gets deposited into a business account of the business owner.
I could be wrong though. If any cashier on here can tell me whether or not you get to pocket the money people hand you for purchases they have made please let me know.
If it's true those Wal-Mart cashiers must be living in mansions by now... man they must live the good life.

Keep the money? You never said anything about keeping the money. I just thought you wanted to handle the money. Keeping it? That is going to be a bit harder to figure out.

Handle it? Nahh more like fondle it...

Being able to stop rain on command.

Being able to start the rain on command.
We can work as a team - 60/40 split (you are a woman afterall, and we wouldn't want to upset the social norms by paying you the same as a man).

Crapping in doorways of the downtown merchants. Just can't seem to get the paperwork down.
