There are stupid questions

I was meeting friends at a seedy bar none of us had ever been to before and, with the added wisdom of experience, none of us will ever return to, and was waiting about twenty minutes for a beer while listening to an inebriated older guy yell about kids these days. Said older guy quickly and unexpectedly changed the topic, turned to me, and asked a question that I feel compelled to share. "If you could have any super power in the world or sing," he asked, "what would you choose?" I wasn't really sure what he meant by this question, but after twelve minutes of over-explanation I felt I had a decent grasp on his question, and it brings up a wellspring of other questions. Chiefly, given the actual opportunity what kind of person would rather have the practical and boring ability to sing well than have the ability to fly, be invisible, or just plain awesome at kicking ass?
