PRACTICAL MATTERS: A 100-WORD STORY

Being Superman sounds exciting, but believe me, there are practical matters that most people never consider.

The costume, for example.

Wearing a Super-Suit under your street clothes is a pain. It’s hot. And then there was that time I found out that Korean food was like kryptonite to my bowels. I ate a pile of kimchi and bulgogi once, and it was horrendous. Getting out of my khakis was one thing, but those tights? And the cape? Fuhgeddaboudit. It took a week to get the Stool-Gogi stains out.

And after that infamous Lois Lane incident, forget about ever getting laid.
