Well, we’re certainly off to a cheerful start, are we not? 
“Is he dead, Lois?”
“No! But I was really mad and I wanted to kick him between the legs and pull his nose off and put out his eyes with a freshly sharpened pencil and disembowel him with a dull letter opener and strangle him with his own intestines but I stopped myself just in time!”

My goodness! 154 parts?! Better get some popcorn if this first chapter is anything to go on. Anyway, I'm hooked. Superman let Jimmy die? Lois LEFT him? Clark's divorced? Seems a little topsy turvey for Superman's world, lol can't wait to see what comes up next.

Could the posting date possibly be relevant? Yup, I would say so. Brilliant, Mary! I happen to love angst, and this little "teaser" packed a wallop. So if you want to write any of the 153 further chapters, feel free to post them! Kathy

OK, you had me going when I was reading the story--until Jimmy PROPOSED to Lois and then jummped and. . . well you know the rest. (I was even worried about Red K with Clark's attitude and getting drunk.)
Great April Fools joke!

Wow, I didn't take the 154 parts seriously but I thought this was your attempt at writing a tank ending, since you've been having "trouble" writing humor recently.
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.

A big man and a smaller man were in the top floor bar of the Metropolis Trade Center, sharing shots and arguing good-naturedly about - well, nature.
"Don' believe it," slurred the smaller man.
"Sure! I done it a buncha times!"
"Nah. The wind ain't gonna blow you back up here if you jump off the balcony. I seen than one on Myth Busters last month."
The tall man stumbled from his stool and pulled his companion to the edge of the balcony. "You shtay right here. Be right back."
Before the smaller man could grab his inebriated companion, the larger man jumped. He plummeted down to about the twenty-fourth floor before gently reversing direction and drifting back up to the balcony.
As he landed - on one knee and both hands - the tall man laughed. "Man, what a rush! Your turn!"
The smaller man, completely bald and sneering slightly through his alcohol-induced haze, nodded loosely. "Awright. You can do it, I can do it."
"Thass th' spirit! Just jump over right there."
The smaller man stepped over the rail and did a perfect swan dive - until he realized he wasn't slowing down. His pinwheeling scream cut off as he splattered against the sidewalk.
The tall man waddled back to the bar and shouted, "Gimme another bottle! I wanna celebrate!"
The bartender set the bottle on the bar and stepped back. "You know, you sure sure do make a mean drunk, Superman."
