Thanks everyone! Glad people are enjoying this revised version.

Paul is such slime. I really just want to slap him. Are there actually guys who act this way? No, don't tell me, there probably are...
Well, Paul's a bit over the top, but unfortunately he's definitely a compilation of people I actually know.

I always thought that at the end of the weeked when they sign out, he will tell the counter to bill to Paul, full for the room he never use.
You know, I thought about that, but decided against it because Clark isn't paying for the room, The Daily Planet is. That means 1) he's not losing any money and 2) if he makes Paul pay, Perry's going to want to know why Clark didn't sleep in his room and where he was sleeping. Not a conversation Clark wants to have with him, I imagine. <G>

OK, I've read this story at least six times and I can't for the life of me figure out where this quote comes from. Annie's going to think I snuck a new scene into her story or something. <g> Can you help me out, Maria?
I was really confused and I DID think Kathy was sneaking something in on me! I wouldn't put it past her, she's pretty sneaky. Always trying to help me and stuff. <G>

A confused Kathy, who nonetheless is enjoying seeing everyone's reaction to the story. Whoever said BRs don't have ownership. <g>
LOL. I've often thought you should have as much ownership to this as I do. God knows I'd have given up on it long ago without you.
