That was grossly hilarious!

If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

I think I can point out, thankfully, that there are no odors in space.
Cute story.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

He felt the gust coming and he adjusted for it. It wouldn’t do to have his head and hands inside the delicate guts of the expensive equipment he was working on only to be blown against some highly breakable components by a sudden breeze. Space weather forecast for tonight: breezy. The thrust from the unexpected breeze shifted his position and he barely dodged the exposed computer components. He’d hate to have to explain why he’d crushed the equipment he’d been asked to repair or upgrade. Watch, children. Superman is temporarily having this "jet-engine" in his, umm, backside, and every time it fires off a jet downwards, there is an equal and opposite reaction upwards, giving Superman a thrust in the "up" direction. Careful with those computer components! At least, this far outside the atmosphere, there was no medium to carry the sharp, concussive rippling sounds he was making Noise level forecast for space tonight: silent. <<No, Lois, dinner was good. Great, even.>>
<<But you didn’t like it. I can tell. Come on, Clark! Your mother makes great three-bean chili! This is her recipe! And you told me you liked it the way I cook it!>> Three-bean chili... beans!!! <shudders> <f-rts> <<I do like it, Lois. It tastes terrific. But you’re – you’re doing something a little different with it lately.>>
<<I’m glad you noticed. I’ve added my own special set of spices.>> Let me guess - some finely ground red kryptonite? Add beans and you've got an, uh, explosive cocktail... She knew what pasta did to him, so if she was in a romantic mood why did she change the menu at the last minute? And to – to that dish? Take it from me, Lois. Stick to pasta. (EDIT: Or maybe you should do the cooking, Clark?  ) Eh, grossly funny, Terry! Ann

Thank you all. The short, snappy, funny story is not something I do naturally, but ever since I heard the promo on late-night TV about the first Alien movie ("In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream") the tag line has been bouncing around in my head. I finally figured out a way to use it.
Ann, I love your space forecasts! They made me laugh out loud!
Woody, isn't it a good thing that Superman's - er, emissions will dissipate in vacuum? What would happen if one of them were ignited? He'd burn his cape off!
I have not heard or read about Paul Jennings, but since I was born in England of American parents, I doubt we're related. But thanks for the positive comparison, Beethoven!
Wait, that was positive, wasn't it?
