To let you know, Ann, in the show they get married at this place that every one just appears at (Perry, Jimmy, the Kents, the Lanes), so no one is completely sure where that is, as far as I know.

Then, for the telegraph operator, that is a reference to the episode after they get married (Soulmates) in which they are at one point transferred back to a mid to late 1800's Western incarnation of themselves, where Clark is a telegraph operator, secret identity-Lone Rider. He's definitely cute in that outfit.

As for the story, great humor. Somehow, I think it is Paul.

I think, therefore, I get bananas.

When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.

What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.
