Today's ghastly groaner

Clark, Lois, and Jimmy were striding down the streets of Metropolis one sunny afternoon. As they passed a construction site, Lois noticed a worker struggling to carry a load of bricks up the ladder on his shoulder.

She stopped, looked at the workers, and then turned to the others and said, “Someone should write a song: ‘Bricking up is hard to do.’”

Jimmy Olsen stopped dead in his tracks, slapped his thigh, and let loose a series of guffaws that reverberated across the street. He suddenly paused mid-laugh and looked at Clark, who stood there, stoic as ever.

“Gee, Mr. Kent, that was a real laugh. Don’t you get it?”

“Sorry, Jimmy,” replied Clark Kent. “I ignore those. Remember that puns are the Lois form of humor.”
