It had been an emergency.
<raises one eyebrow quizzically>
Someone had needed Superman.
Clark needed skivvies in a hurry?
the red briefs had been temporarily mislaid.
Pink leopard spotted briefs instead of the red ones?
Superman - sans the red briefs - could *not* be seen in public hastily purchasing underwear on his way to a rescue.
Could have skipped the briefs like the new comic books... :rolleyes:
Lois had seized the Victoria's Secret bag she'd hidden in the closet, extracted the red panties, and shoved them at Clark.
Famous last words.
Sure, she'd known the panties' distinctive feature was heat-activated.
Uh oh!
"I didn't anticipate that you'd put them on backwards."
"It was meant to refer to our job." She strangled the budding upsurge of giggles. "I mean ... it *is* true. Of both of us."
Hmmmmm......
The message - proclaimed by Superman himself and currently being beamed around the news services of the world. The Man of Steel was a:
HEADLINE LOVER!

<gasps for breath>
What a great little tale! Way too funny! I needed that laugh!!!!!
