1. I don't know....
Does Superman even NEED to use a toilet? Does the Fortress have one or more?

2. If he did need to use one, I'll bet he had to replace it each time
I'm just picturing shattered chunks of porcelain all over the fortress.

:rofl:

7. The very first joke I remember actually making up? MiddleFingerMomSis had brought her BF home...
.
.
.
...from college and had warned all of us sibs to be on our best behavior as "this might be the one".
.
.
.
I was nervous as hell. This was ME -- MY joke. I was about to give birth to "my baby". I waited patiently for the right moment. All was quiet.
.
.
.
I asked her BF, "What does Superman say when he flushes the toilet?"
.
.
.
MiddleFingerMomMom rolled her eyes. MiddleFingerMomDad snorted. MiddleFingerMomBros snickered evilly.
.
.
.
MiddleFingerMomSis, in the space of my 10-second "wait for it" pause, skinned me alive three times.
.
.
.
"See you later, Superpoop!!!!!"
.
.
.
Food and drink spit-takes all around the table (including the BF). MiddleFingerMomSis might have
died of embarrassment right then-and-there, but there was some real skinnin' to do first.
.
.
.
The joke? Yeah... ... ... stupid.
.
.
.
The timing, the context, the crowd?
.
.
.
Epic.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You never forget your first time.
