Dinner Conversation	[Oct. 4th, 2011\|08:09 pm] Beemer
We determined at dinner that my super-power is throwing buses. Me: So all I need to do is find somebody whose super-power is catching buses and we could form our own little high-speed mass transit system. kung_fu_monkey: That's just riDICulous. Nobody's super-power is going to be catching buses! Me: But that's the thing. How would you know? It's a very difficult super-power to find out that you have...

Catching buses is part of Superman's gig, so it's totally likely that someone out there has that skill solely.

Have you tried to catch a bus? Perhaps that is within your powers as well.

Exactly my point! You may already have this power!

I think pink_halen's point is that YOU may have a whole range of bus and/or large vehicle manipulation powers of which bus tossing is only one! Have you tried punching a steamroller? Putting an RV in your pocket? You may be more marvelous than you know!

If I recall correctly, my attempt at sarcasm failed. Having a super power where you could catch thrown buses (and only thrown buses) is equally absurd to being able to throw buses (and only buses). The idea of super-powered symmetry is a bit too late 80's/early 90's for me.
