Thanks to Virginia for the great line and to Iolanthe for the suggestion.

Corrina.

Well, gee, Female Hawk, "Headline Lover" could mean quite a few things.

Enjoyable little vignette!

I was choking with laughter here. (And am still grinning from ear to ear.)

The BEST LAUGH of my day, thank you so much !!

I am going to be chuckling quietly for the rest of the day!

Perfect answer to the challenge!!!

It had been an emergency.

Quote

Someone had needed Superman.

Clark needed skivvies in a hurry?

Quote

the red briefs had been temporarily mislaid.

Pink leopard spotted briefs instead of the red ones?

Quote

Superman - sans the red briefs - could *not* be seen in public hastily purchasing underwear on his way to a rescue.

Could have skipped the briefs like the new comic books... :rolleyes:

Quote

Lois had seized the Victoria's Secret bag she'd hidden in the closet, extracted the red panties, and shoved them at Clark.

Quote

It should have been OK.

Famous last words.

Quote

Sure, she'd known the panties' distinctive feature was heat-activated.

Uh oh!

What a great little tale! Way too funny! I needed that laugh!!!!!

This was awesome and made my weekend! Thanks Corrina

Ok this one I get, headline lover because she is a reporter. I am still working on the nfic punch line. though at least I understand what the column was about now.

Ooooh fun!

"It's not funny," Clark said.

No. It wasn't. It wasn't. It really wasn't.

Uh-huh.

Quote

the red briefs had been temporarily mislaid.

Hmm...mislaid or 'mislaid'?

Quote

The other Suits were at the cleaners.

Quote

He'd checked them for lace, frills, or any other explicitly feminine frippery, and finding none, had stepped into them and flown out the window.

But he would have to heat-vision her for that, no?

Quote

But she hadn't known the emergency was a fire.

Oops?

Quote

"It was meant to refer to our job." She strangled the budding upsurge of giggles. "I mean ... it *is* true. Of both of us."
