At Doherty Memorial High, creativity and humor never run dry; literally. This week, I went around asking students one weird and bizarre question: “If You Could Magically Produce Anything Automatically From A Body Part… What Would It Be?” From funny to downright unexpected, these answers were as unique as the people who gave them. Here’s what our Highlanders had to say.
Ariana Cardenas
“If I magically had that ability, then I’d definitely want to spray mouthwash out of my mouth so my breath could be minty fresh all day, every day. It’d be like having built-in breath control, always ready, no matter what!”
Authors Note: Yeah, because who needs laser eyes when you can shoot Listerine mist like a dragon.
Lonnea
“I mean, obviously I’d want to produce money straight from my hands, of course. Who wouldn’t? Everybody likes money. But if money didn’t matter, I’d be out here producing whatever food I wanted, whenever I wanted… because, well, I’m fat”
Authors Note: So basically you’re a one-person economy and buffet. Respect.
Samar Hamdani
“If I magically had that ability, I’d be out here producing diamonds from my hands because, duh, I want to be rich. Plus, I’d totally gift some to my loved ones… after I flex a little ofc.”
Authors Note: Okay, diamond-hands! Just make sure I’m on that loved-ones list. I LOVE shiny things too.
Brendan Maloney and Campbell
“If I magically had that ability, I’d produce Gatorade from my nose. Why not? It’s delicious”
Authors Note: Bold choice. What flavor are we talking here? I’d go for blue.
Katrina St. John:
“If I magically had that ability, I’d 100% shoot pink lemonade from my fingers, because honestly, I just want unlimited pink lemonade at all times. Hydration, but make it iconic.”
Maia Matos Bueno
“If I had that magical ability, I’d shoot water from my nose like a built-in pressure washer; because honestly, I like my nasal to be sparkling clean.”
Isabelle Kelly
“If I magically had that ability, I’d be out here producing money straight from my hands because let’s be real, I’m trying to be rich without doing the most.”
Samara Tang – Rainwater
“If I magically had that ability, I’d produce Honeycrisp apples on demand that way, if I’m ever stranded on an island, I’ve got food and a solid plan to make apple juice. Survival, but make it tasty.”
Karter Archer – Dyer
“If I magically had that ability, I’d produce I’d whip up food straight from my stomach, plenty of room in there”
Anonymous Person #1
“I’d shoot lime juice from my eyes, just to truly feel the pain.”
Anonymous Person #2
“If I magically had that ability, I’d produce diamonds. SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND – Rihanna”
Wow! These answers were bizarre, brilliant, everything and above. Turns out, when you ask Highlanders what they’d magically produce from their bodies, you get a wild mix of imagination, questionable logic, and non-stop laughs. Classic Doherty.
But that’s exactly what makes this place special, Highlanders being creative, cracking jokes, and just having fun. You’re what makes Doherty great.
