Lois grabbed a wriggling frog, dunked it in chili sauce, and bit
its head off.

Clark stared, and said, "Lois, are you--?"

Lois took another bite and said, "An evil clone? Nope. They're
chocolate frogs; Calvin sent them from Salem."

"I know... I was wondering about the chili sauce. Are you--?"

"Pregnant? Nope."

"Okay, I give up. Why chili?"

"Seriously? Superman has nothing else to worry about?"

"Things are quiet. Why chili?"

She dipped another frog and gave it to Clark. "Try it!"

"It's... Ewww!" He spat it out.

"Okay, I owe Martha ten dollars. You really are that
gullible..."

THE END

For the perplexed... Lex Luthor replaced Lois Lane with a
defective clone who had to eat a special type of living frog to
survive. For some reason I suddenly remembered this, the
Potterverse milk chocolate frogs, and that plain chocolate is
quite nice with a little chilli, but milk chocolate is just
vile...

I've previously used this title for an otherwise unconnected
short story, one of my few professional fiction sales:
