*wipes tears of laughter from her eyes* Nan, that was INCREDIBLY gross (no one who has recently eaten should read that story), and absolutely hysterical. Makes the cleaning I've been avoiding all day looks like a piece of cake. Even without superpowers.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

The last sentence is just adorable
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.

Ewww, I'm with Rivka -- what's a little Pesach cleaning after reading *that*? Absolutely hilarious, especially that Lois is so utterly oblivious to the havoc that was and the cleaning that is. You should do comedy sketches more often, Nan. Hazel
Lois: You know the deal. Clark: Superman gets the guys in capes, Lois and Clark get the guys in suits.

ROTFL!!!! I especially like this: "Uh, yeah, that was the general idea," he said, rejecting the temptation to simply take the refrigerator out and give it a bath in the ocean. What am I saying - I adore it all! So funny! And that last line, Nan, is priceless. What a fun way to begin my day. First reading the red rock story and now this. What a treat!
Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique. Clark: You certainly are unique.
Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that? Lois: But I'm worth it!

Oh my God. It's soooo gross that it's funny. And in a way it's soooo Lois. Poor Clark. I was giggling throughout it. But the last sentence really made me laugh out loud. I wonder what she wanted to get from the fridge... ....Clark Superburglar Kent...

I don't know what the big deal is. It's not uncommon for a few items to take up residence in one's refrigerator for a spell.
I don't drink beer, but I did buy some for the other guys when I had my 'open house' party when I moved in. Just the other day I threw out those cans that had been left undrunk. The cans, being sealed and in the refrigerator, I wasn't sure what the shelf life would be so I erred on the side of longer rather than shorter.

Well, I read the comments folder...so then, naturally, I had to read the story. I agree. This was just adorably funny, Nan! I just loved this: By now, he was a man on a mission. Wonderful! LabRat Special Stargate quote in honour of Nan's story: Teal'c: [staring into O'Neill's fridge] Are you conducting some kind of scientific experiment, O'Neill? O'Neill: Hey! That salsa's still good!
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

You know I am getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about that fridge!..YECH!!! Great story, lol at my desk. Ah who cares, they all think I'm nuts already! ~Liz
Lois: Can I go? Clark: No. Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go. Clark: Then why do you ask? Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

See!! now this is what makes Clark so cool. Only *he* would arbitrarily clean out somebody's fridge without being asked. *sigh* I love him, Nan, I love your Clark. TEEEEEJ

I haven't laughed so hard in I don't know how long! I have tears in my eyes! It also brings back not-so-fond memories of singlehood. Just before I married Elisabeth, I was diagnosed with sever gastro-intestinal problems. Basically, I had been slowly poisoning myself with my own toxic form of super-hot chili(which I would leave on the stove, over-night, for up to, oh, 2 days. I know, I know ). For several months I was on a TOTALLY bland food diet to restore the lining of my stomach and upper-intestinal track. Needless to say, I learned my lesson, and Elisabeth even trusts my cooking...
