Hi Miss C. Happy Friday!
Superman was feeling bored after a long break of crime fighting and wanted to go out and party so he called Batman to ask if he wanted to go to a club and pick up some girls. Batman said Robin was ill and he had to look after him.
A little disappointed, Superman called Green Lantern to see if he wanted to grab a couple of beers. Green Lantern told him he had a date with Catwoman.
As a last resort, Superman flew over to Wonder Woman's apartment to see if she was free. As he landed on her balcony, he saw Wonder Woman naked on the bed with her legs open. Superman thought to himself "I'm faster than a speeding bullet, I could be in there, have sex and out again before she knew what was happening." So Superman did his super thing in a split second and flies off happily.
Meanwhile on the bed, Wonder Woman said "Did you hear anything?"
"NO!" said the Invisible Man, "But my ass hurts like hell!"
