I'd ask them both that since Clark was flying to New Krypton to stop a civil war (NOT an overnight trip) just how long did they think they could fool Perry that Clark was "out hitting the pavement."

(Always strikes me as SO dumb - considering that, at the same time, Lois thought she'd never see Clark again.)
