For Jon, who picked "socks".
Also meanwhile, a new super hero was putting the finishing touches on his super suit. And it was truly a Super Suit. The finest Italian wool, a cut that Armani would drool over and a perfect, crisp white shirt. All that was left was to find his hand woven cashmere socks and slip into his $4,000 shoes.
That's when disaster struck.
Instead of a drawer full of exquisite cashmere socks, all the Super Hero could find were ugly, itchy paisley socks.
"Noooo!" the Super Hero cried out dramatically (he had good training for this, as he was also a trained opera singer).
"Curse you, penguins!"
For only one creature could be behind an act so foul, so heinous - the evil Dr. Strangequack.
But then something happened that the penguin did not intend: not to outdone by a mere penguin, even if said penguin had written his doctorate thesis on how to be an Evil Overlord, the Super Hero put on the loudest, ugliest pair of socks that he could find.
And -nothing- happened.
"Interesting," the Super Hero remarked.
To be continued...
