One fine day Clark Kent was walking around his parents' farm when lo and behold he found a pair of dirty red underpants. After looking around and finding no one within sight, he quickly grabbed the red underpants and ran as fast as he can (which is really REALLY fast since he's, well, Superman) to his favourite barn.
There, he spoke to his best friend Charlie the Chicken (it's an uncommon fact that one of his super-powers is that he can speak to animals) about his discovery and Charlie demanded that Clark hands over the underwear for closer inspection.
In excitement, Clark whipped out the underpants from his soil-soddened pocket. Clark, being Superman and all, whipped it out really really hard until the whole barn shook from it's sonic boom and exploded into a massive fireball.
Clark was blown into the air when the barn door flew past him with such force, the vacuum from the passing barn door sucked his Kryptonian eyeballs out (Later he had an eye-transplant operation which he received donations from a pair of Siamese twins who was conjoined at the eyeballs who died during their 36 hour separation operation).
Flailing in the air blindly, he managed to grab a banjo that was blown along by the sweet Kansas wind. In his daze, he heard the voice of Charlie the Chicken, fading into the thin air. Apparently Charlie was smashed into the barn door and was stuck hard into the barn door which was at the moment, hurtling very very fast, away from Clark.
Using his super-powered ears, he flung the banjo towards Charlie's general direction, but only missing the barn door by a mile or two. Thus the term 'Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo' was coined. Charlie finally drifted into space, along with the barn door that is now part of the International Space Station. Charlie's still screaming to this day, but in space, no one can hear you scream.
Superman now wears his trademark red tight underwear in memoriam of Charlie the Chicken.
The end. |
