You know that you live in Metropolis when...
-- ditzy, arm-candy, trophy-wife blondes are actually smarter than their criminal mastermind megalomaniac husbands
LOIS: Correction. Women are routinely smarter than the men in general.
CLARK: Hey!
LOIS: Are you saying I'm wrong?
CLARK:

uh, no. Just that it cuts a little close to home.
-- Women in general are either major players or the "Boss" (so to speak) in many of the city's criminal plots (Dr. Baines, Toni Taylor, Miranda, Candice the magician, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Lake, the Ex-Mrs. Luthor, Dr. Kelly, etc., etc., etc.)
