Damn, you're making me laugh. The girl at the front desk is NOT named Lois Lane. There really is a Jimmy Olson repair shop on Lake Avenue in Woodstock, Illinois. They have another shop in Harvard, Illinois but it only does mechanical work (no autobody or paint work).

However, way way back in the days when the earth was young, my nickname in college was "Clark." The first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve had just come out, and I looked a lot like him. I wore glasses with black plastic frames. I worked for the student newspaper. And I was pretty good at football too (defensive tackle, All-Conference), so when I took those glasses off, things happened.

The guy who gave me the nickname was a black running back who loved movies. His first name was "Kent." This was good for a lot of laughs at the kegger parties.

True story.
