If I Had The Ability To Turn My Hand Into The Shape Of A Medium-Sized Juice Glass.

If I Had The Ability To Turn My Hand Into The Shape Of A Medium-Sized Juice Glass.

In life, there is much evil, and bad things are always being done. Even if unintentional, awful, terrible things happen on a regular basis. Even small, seemingly insignificant things, such as spills, happen millions of times each day. For instance, just yesterday, while I was walking casually on the street listening to the music playing from my headphones, a jogging woman was jogging past me, when she lost her balance, launching an opened water bottle into the air. Now, any average person possessing no powers whatsoever wouldn't even attempt to do something about this. But if I had to the ability to turn my hand into the shape of a medium-sized juice glass, things would be much different.
Me, being powerless, watched horrified while the bottle spun and flew through the air, eventually hitting the ground, spilling its contents.
Now, at a first glance, this situation may not seem as grave as it should. I mean, it's just a stupid, ugly bottle of water, right?
And that is where you, my friend, are most definitely wrong.
Okay, so, water spills all the time, it's no bid deal, right? But what if this jogger was already feeling very thirsty, before she spilled her water? What if it was more than just thirsty, what if she was severely dehydrated and was about to drink the contents of the bottle when she tripped? Well then, this simple little "spill" could result in the death of a poor, woman jogger.
Now, this particular woman was not especially thirsty, or dehydrated, but she could have been. That is why if I had the ability to turn my hand into the shape of a medium-sized juice glass, things would have been different. As the water flew through the air, my hand could have instantly transformed, and while I was catching all of the water, this young joggers life could have been saved. I mean, if she was dehydrated, which she wasn't, but that doesn't matter.

Ok, if that wasn't enough to persuade you, try this example.
Suppose all of New York City falls under the control of an evil regime of terrorists, attempting to wreak their beloved terror upon all NYC citizens. During their takeover, a very few number of people were able to escape into the sewers where it is filled with putrid water. Now, lets say these terrorists create an enormous bomb which will demolish the entire city. But these are old fashioned terrorists, so they make their bombs with fuses. To be specific, really, really long fuses. Now, thinking that they are clearly successful in their plans, they light the fuse and get out of town. Then, once they leave, the very few from the sewers emerge, only to find the fuse burning quickly, giving them only 30 seconds before all of New York is destroyed. This sounds pretty awful right? But it gets worse. The fuse is still burning and the people are panicking because they think there is nothing they can do. But one of them, which happens to be me, knows better. Quickly, I run back to the sewers, and my hand turns into the shape of a medium-sized juice glass. I then fill it with the "water", rush back to the fuse and dump its contents, extinguishing it completely.
All of New York is saved, thanks to my hand being able to turn into the shape of a medium sized juice glass.

Considering those, it seems pretty absurd for me to NOT have a hand that turns into the shape of a medium-sized juice glass! Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why a medium-sized glass? Surely a large glass would hold much more than a puny medium!" and you are wrong. A large-sized glass would be much too big for most things, and would only weigh me down when I needed to carry a small amount of something.
Anyway, it makes sense for me to have this hand right? Because, if not, people could die, right? Now, I'm not sure how much an operation like this would cost, and I'm not even sure it's possible. But to that, I reply "Nothing is impossible."
Did Han Solo give up and think it was impossible when the imperial fleet was on his back, and he needed to make the jump to light speed or else they would be blown to dust? No, he believed and it worked. So, that is why I am proposing that you give me an indefinite amount of money. Preferably in blank checks, so that way when I do know the price of this operation, you'll be able to give me the apropriate amount.

Thank you so much for the money I'm sure you're going to give me, but keep in mind that by helping me with this, you'll essentially be helping yourself, once I save your life.
