This was hysterical! I think my favorite line was
“I’m from Krypton, not Gallifrey”
But the following takes a close second:
“Like my super cooking power, or super dog walking abilities? You can’t just tack on the word super to everything I do…”
But wouldn't Superman's expenses be paid for by the Superman fund managed by Murray Brown? After all, if Clark Kent were to be buying hundreds of capes and boots, surely someone would put two and two together and, unlike the a/c repairmen(loved that angle, BTW), they might not be local people who feel protective of Superman, and who might peddle the knowledge on the Q.T.. It might be someone at the credit card company or at the ski boot company in Colorado.
Of course, one can get away with little things like this in humourous vignettes much better than one could in a serious story.
Please, please, please write more "drabbles"! This was one of the funniest bits of fanfic that I have seen in a long time.
Joy,
