WHAT'S THAT?
What a tragedy if Clark Kent never knew that he was Superman? Can we imagine Clark Kent on his deathbed, looking down and muttering, "What’s that big 'S' on my T-shirt? Superman? What’s that?" How sad! All his life he could have been catching speeding bullets and leaping tall

I recall one of the All in the Family episodes where Archie and Edith were having some discussion that had to do with God, and Mike-their atheistic son-in-law, asked the question, “What God.” Then their daughter, Gloria, said, “Yeah, what God.” Archie could not believe his ears. He knew his
