15. He'd best watch out for Larry Craig if he chooses Men's Rooms.
Ol' "Wide Stance" could be lurking there and tapping his foot.

I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak
But your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well will you be
There holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

31. Starbucks. The new phone booth
They are on ever corner, even with closings. They have WiFi hotspots, which are more pay-phoney than pay phones now, anyway. And they are roomier, to accomodate the ever-expanding American girth, which certainly has affected Superman by now.

And he likes his lattes. Little known fact.

Think of his reputation. His street cred will drop and he will be laughed out of town.
