Superpowers Aren't Always Useful

I was sitting in my office eating a bagel when TDS walked in.  The conversation quickly turned to transsexuals and donuts; two of TDS's favorite topics of conversation outside the Ford Pinto and Cholera.  We pick up our story there:

TDS:  That tranny that was murdered out by Gower, the person being interviewed in the article said there's a good donut shop around the corner but that they don't go in there because there's so many trannies.  That's gotta be the donut shop you get donuts at for the office.

Me:  Did they call it by name?

TDS:  No.  But there are a lot of trannies there.

Me:  TDS, there's gotta be at least 20 donut shops between that murder site and here.

TDS:  I don't think so.

Me:  I'll go count them this week for you.

TDS:  yeah, you go count them.

Me:  There's gotta be one on nearly every other street corner between there and here, you don't know it's this one.

TDS:  Oh those donuts are so good.  Really good.

Me:  Yeah.

TDS:  And they said it's good donuts.  That's the only good donut place here, and also there are a lot of trannies there.

Me:  How do you know it's the only good donut place?  Have you had donuts at all the places between here and there?

TDS:  (Disgusted face) Ugh, no.

Me:  Then how do you know there isn't a good donut between here and there?

TDS:  I know a greasy donut when I see one.

End Scene.

So there you have it, the TDS's superpower is the ability to spot an un-good donut from 50 paces.  I don't know when this will come in handy other than in the scene above, but if you need a good donut spotter, TDS is your go-to.
