Clark Kent looked up in alarm as his best friend came in, nursing his jaw. "Jimmy, what happened?" he said.

Jimmy Olsen groaned. "I'm an idiot, that's all," he said. "You know Eve, in accounting? I asked her when her baby was due."

"Oh." Clark frowned. "I didn't know she was expecting."

"Neither did she," said Jimmy. "That's what happened to my jaw."

"Ah."

Clark smiled. "Well… let's just say I have inside information."
