Surviving Atomic Attack

Back in the fifties they used to have nuclear attack drills, where you would cower beneath your desk or in the cellar in preparedness for kissing your ass goodbye during nuclear attack. Eventually they stopped doing them. Most people say it is because we wised up and realized there was no surviving a nuclear strike.

I take a different view. Spiderman came out in the early sixties. I think since then we have just all been waiting until the day when we too get our super powers. I have been spending a lot of time wondering what I want to be if I hit the nuclear lottery and I have decided I want to be a lifeless radioactive husk. I bet no-one else has thought of that one.
