You and two friends are out to dinner when a woman walks up to you and says, "My husband and I have a disagreement and we'd like you to decide who is right." She explains the issue. Both of your friends chime in, giving completely opposite opinions. The decision, though, rests in your hands. What do you decide?
You're late for work because you overslept, but your boss hates over-sleepers. He does love entertaining stories, so create the most outlandish excuse as to why you were late.
You wake up one day with an unusual super power that seems pretty worthless—until you are caught in a situation that requires that specific "talent."

"Oh! Hello Boss!"
*mumbling noise from Charlie Brown Teacher comes from the boss' mouth*
"No, as a matter of fact I didn't oversleep, no no I hate people who do that! Actually, what happened you see, is my best friend is obsessed with octopi, so he went to the aquarium last night. Upon seeing the poor creature in a tank looking miserable, he conjured up a brilliant idea to rescue the poor beast..."
*boss interrupts with mumbling voice again*
"no sir, honestly, look here is a picture from last year's "Marine Biology Expo" in SLC..."
*shows cell phone to boss. Boss nods in acceptance*
"So, there my best friend Martin was trying to rescue this poor beast from the aquarium last night, he installs alarm systems you see so he's very good at tripping them up..."
*boss interrupts again*
"No, honestly sir, here's a video of him on you tube instructing homeowners on how to deactivate their systems..."
*shows boss phone again. Boss nods in agreement*
"So anyway... there's Martin, trying to rescue this poor creature from the aquarium, as he's turned off the alarm it's quite simple to move around in there. But what he wasn't counting on was that the beast was bigger than the fish bowl he brought to transfer it. So upon realizing this, he decided to move the stingrays from one tank to the other, which is quite tricky sir, they're slippery little stingers they are... So upon moving 10 stingrays, he places the octopus inside the tank. All seems well and done until poor Martin is wheeling the tank out to his car and realizes that he has no spot in the back seat for a tank that huge..."
*boss interrupts again.*
"He drives a porsche sir..."
*boss interrupts again*
"An old one sir... he is tring to rebuild it. Anyway sir, if you're not careful we'll be here all day. So Martin tied the tank on top of his car, and this morning woke to find it tipped over. And you see sir, Martin has a very bad habit of sleep walkign so he figured he must have tried to place the creature back in the ocean. Something I've forgotten to mention sir, Martin lives in apartment B2 which is just below my own apartment..."
*CEO of the company walks in. The boss mumbles to him about the tardy in his Charlie Brown Teacher Voice. The CEO simply stairs at the man trying to explain his tardy in disbelief*
"Gentleman that's all good and fun, but can anyone explain to me why there is an Octopus hanging off your backside?"
"That's what I'm trying to explain sir... Martin put him in my bathtub last night.. he was hanging where my loofa typically is and unfortunately those suction cups are a little stronger than you'd think."
