Nancy!!

Thanks for pointing out the "typo" - I'll fix that right away.
Hehe… And here I was beginning to think you weren’t going to do that. But of course you would. It’s one of your favorites.
Yep. Favorite indeed.
Lois looked at him with an expression of surprise and fright, as if he had just informed her that Martians had just landed and were about to go hunting for dinner. The thought almost made him laugh... Man hunting Martians; right!
Martian: A generic term that can be used for anyone who's never had a Big Mac - bet Clark's had a Big Mac so he wouldn't qualify.
Mmmm.... ok - I have two questions...
A) can you explain what you mean, cause I'm not following very well (read: not at all...) maybe I'm just tired.
B) how is it that no one has suggested I should bring out the oreos? I thought you would catch that one... put it in there after talking cookies with you, you know.
My understanding is that Lois did get the job right out of college (on the show anyway), but I assume that was because she had done an internship there. But it that canon? Or fanon?
In one ep from S4, Perry does say she started out as a research assistant, yep. I would guess she was an intern, too. In this case, she's trying to be a reporter from day one, though so he might not have hired her for that straight off the bat.
