I think that this deserves another little addition to the story.

How about:

Lois handed Clark the scissors. "Just do it, Clark," she said.

In a small darkroom on the other side of town, there was a brief flash of light and a puff of smoke where once a promising young gofer had stood. Meanwhile, back in the townhouse...

"Oh, and by the way, Lois, I promise I'll never want kids."

They smiled with pure love as he began to cut away her hair.


Lois had a sudden stray thought. "Clark, have you ever thought of growing a beard and taking up the guitar?"

Now, it's perfect!!
