-->''I'm probably not supposed to be telling you this, but men view themselves as kind of low-level superheroes. When guys are growing up, reading about Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/SpiderMan, Franchise/{{Batman}}. These aren't fantasies. These are options. I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

He apparently thinks that if the wind catches this eight by six rectangle at fifty miles an hour 'I got it. I got it. I'm using my '''arm'''!'''
