If you could…

Yes, it’s another complete-waste-of-bytes meme. Except this one is a daverea.com original, and this one is meant just for all you NaBloPoMo posters out there who are looking for filler material!

If You Could…

…change one insignificant, meaningless, trivial thing about the world, it would be:

The little signature strips on the backs of credit cards. They’re too small, and they stifle the signatorial creativity of millions. It’s time our signatures were set free!

…acquire any one useless but entertaining skill, it would be:

Learn to drive an autocross course backwards. Very fast. In someone else’s car.

…star in your own comic book adventure, your name and super-power would be:

“Ubergeek!”, who can solder 0201 resistors without the aid of a microscope! Oh, wait, already do that. Ahem. Um. “Ubergeek!”, who can carry on a conversation without staring at both parties’ shoes throughout!

…do one otherwise-frowned-upon thing everyone secretly wants to do without being challenged or confronted, it would be:

Calmly walk up to a chatty bluetooth-enabled real estate broker at the supermarket deli, wordlessly remove the little blinking communications appendage from her ear and drop it into a passing cleaner’s mop bucket. Yes, I realize a lot of things would have to come together perfectly to make this happen, but we’re squarely in the realm of the hypothetical here, mmkay?

Of course, feel free to spread the love, and add your own hypotheticals. And maybe use the trackback? Please?
