Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for February 12, 2016

Super-nerd.

Caramels are almost always the square ones.

I managed a chocolate shop for several years.

We had about 50 or 60 different pieces, and had to know them all at a glance.

After a while, it’s no problem…. That said…. I’ll point out the caramels so you can eat them.

I prefer the chocolate creams.

I think it has to do with X-ray vision…

He is Superman, after all!!!

I would think that maybe x-ray vision would melt them down.

Lois Lane: What color underwear am I wearing?

Superman: [looking] Hmmm…

Lois Lane: Oh, I’m sorry, I embarrassed you, didn’t I?

Superman: Oh, no, no, no, not at all, Miss Lane, it’s just that this planter must be made of lead.

Lois Lane: Uh, yes it is. So?

Superman: Well, you see, I, uh, I sort of have a problem seeing through lead.

Lois Lane: Oh, that’s interesting.

Lois Lane: [Writing] Problem seeing through lead. Hmmm. Uh, d-do you have a first name?

Superman: What do you mean, like, uh, Ralph or something?Lois Lane: No, no, I mean like…[walks away from the planter]

Superman: Pink.

Lois Lane: Huh?

Superman: Pink

Cartoon physics. His vision can penetrate the skirt but not the panties. It’s the same principle that a light saber works on.

Who said she was wearing a skirt?Maybe she is testing Superman for colour blindness?

This is getting too titillating for me, and if dog88 gets wind of this we’ll all get busted!
