The Top 14 Problems With
Being Married to Superman

  1. Oh sure, he can leap over tall buildings in a single bound, but try getting him to mow the lawn.

  2. Thanksgiving in Smallville every friggin’ year.

  3. Evidence of interplanetary philandering awfully hard to come by.

  4. Krypto the Super Dog keeps breaking guests’ shins at dinner parties.

  5. Turns the Earth backwards an hour if he misses “Melrose.”

  6. Turns out that straight-laced Clark Kent is one mighty kinky S.O.B.

  7. His way of ending every argument with, “And who’s the one who saved the world last week?!?”

  8. More powerful than a locomotive, especially after a 7-11 burrito.

  9. Whenever he sees that damn “Bat-Signal” up in the sky, he’s impotent for days.

  10. Always asking, “Do these tights make my ass look fat?”

  11. Loves that “pull my finger” gag, despite the damage it causes to your home’s foundation.

  12. Before you married, he could move entire planets — now, he can’t move his ass off the couch.

  13. Is it “the change,” or is he just playing with his heat vision again?
And the Number 1 Problem With Being Married to Superman…

  1. A homeless, toothless Margot Kidder keeps showing up on your doorstep and bellowing, “He’s mine! Do you hear me?! He’s mine!!”
