Oh, come on! That's always been a cop-out-- And you know it! I don't have to be married to you to be in danger-- Just loving you can be risky enough! In the past three years alone, I've been kidnapped 17 times... Shot at an average of twice a month... And been the victim of various other kinds of murder-attempts on no less than 38 separate occasions! So by now, I've gotten the message: If nothing else, being your girl friend isn't exactly going to lower my life-insurance premiums!

— Lois Lane
