A New Superhero?

I was taking my afternoon walk yesterday and as I was approaching the back of the union, I saw a guy in a bright blue mask (you know, one of those plastic, oval ones with a molded nose) emerge from the basement door. As he climbed the stairs, it became clear that he was wearing a bright blue unitard/super-suit with white satin super-shorts and a white satin super-cape. The ensemble was completed with white Converse sneakers. He reached the top of the stairs, hopped on a shiny razor scooter and zoomed off with great purpose! On the back of his cape, flapping in the wind, there was an image of a cartoony lightning bolt and...a toilet.

Yessssss!!!!

Toilet Man! Captain Commode! My hero!

Needless to say, this sighting made my day. I don't even want to know the reason for this fantabulous costume. I did at first, but now I'm choosing to believe that he is a real super hero and that he was zipping off to bravely unclog someone's U-bend. [small voice] (That sounds dirty)
