Donna's Underwear...
gcutler
storyline with "Donna" saving the day be talking to the reporter for
"Sam/Josh/Leo", but boy did that underwear plot device come from out of left
field. But I guess if you have to make some act embarrassed, that was the
way. You know "Josh" was holding that Underwear just a little too intensely
:-}
Other question is, has this ever happend to anyone in real life???

Yep, the price you pay for not using a dryer sheet---static cling.
Cyn C.
The panties would be in the pants, and she'd notice them when going to put
them on on day two. And if clean, unworn underwear had stuck to the pants
in the dryer, surely she'd have felt that pair floating around in a pant leg
on day one OR on day two, for sure. They wouldn't _still_ be in there the
evening of the second day, conveniently dropping at the most embarrassing
moment possible.
And if that weren't implausible enough, who (besides 8 year-old campers) had
their name on their underwear?
Also, did Cahill courier them over to the White House?! That's the only way
they'd get there by the next day.
Last, would this have *ever* happened to one of the guys? Leo's faux pas is
that he insults Karen Cahill's shoes, Sam's is that he says Kurdistan when
he means Kazakhstan. And Donna's horrifying moment is when a pair of her
underwear falls to the floor at an art showing (or whatever it was)?! And
she never sees it there herself? Puh-lease. This was a cheap bit for an
easy laugh -- Donna deserves better, and so do we.

Ah, you said Kurdistan, when obviously you mean Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgystan - Large country between Kazakstan and China
Kurdistan - Large area of Kurdish culture weaving through Iraq up to
Turkey
Now, do you know where your underwear is at?

64's and the like), I suddenly became aware of a bulge in my pant leg,
somewhere below my knee. My first and only thought was, "Oh my God, my
underwear." So, as discreetly as I could, I worked the bulge down to my
foot, feigned dropping my pencil so I could bend down, and plucked the
underwear out of its hiding place. A quick glance confirmed my fear that
the underwear in question (yes, the ones I wore yesterday) were a
particularly flowery pair, most unlike the rest of my unmistakably masculine
wardrobe. So what did I do? What anyone would do, I'm sure: I balled it up
in my fist and shoved it inside the desk I was sitting at. The bell rang,
and I left, quickly. The next day when I was in that classroom I naturally
sat in the same seat. The underwear, of course, was gone. And I thought to
myself, "What on *earth* would someone have thought when they found that?"
Less than a month later I was searching in the box of Lost and Found for a
missing glove, and there was my underwear. I felt a momentary pang about
abandoning it, but left it there amongst the other homeless garments and
scurried away.

unless the panties had fallen down the leg of the pants, which is what they

i doubt it...but, then, we really don't know. men's boxers and briefs tend to
be bulkier than the sorts of panties that donna had. they'd be more likely to
notice such a thing than a woman would.

miss_...@my-deja.com
post, i have honestly had something similar happen to me...when you get
home from school at 10pm and wake up to go to school at 5 am,
occasionally little things like shaking your uniform pants to make sure
your underpants aren't hiding in a pant leg tend to slip your sleep
fogged mind. and they honestly do have a habit of appearing at the worst
time, like when you're already late for math class, or some such.
granted, this is more common with dirty socks, but it has been known to
happen. seeing as she probably had to work late, threw the pants over a
chair when she finally got home to go to bed, and then had to get back
to the white house bright and early, i can see where she might not pay
attention to where her underpants wound up. and i can see where she
might not notice all day (when i had this lovely experience, i put the
pants on around 5:30 am and didn't know about the surprise i had waiting
for me until about 2pm) so,yeah, i had no problem believing that could
happen

Just because she works for the New York Times, doesn't mean she lives in

But I believe you're right, as the envelope was not heavily addressed--a
courier is probably correct.
But, I guess it doesn't really matter much.

I never deposited underwear at the feet of someone I was trying to
impress, but about 25 years ago I did find a pair about to be lost from
the leg of a pair of pants I was wearing to the office for a second day.
I pulled them out and tucked them in a pocket before anyone else noticed.
It's much easier to do with synthetic bikinis than it is with other
kinds.

Maybe if she and her roommate split laundry duties, they might do that,
too. Or, if she came from a large family with lots of girls, she might
still be in the habit. I think, for most of us, though, it just seemed
weird.

I was wondering about that; the acoustics in my new place are sucky

country that doesn't even technically exist has control over a large

Like I said, it's happened to me, small cotton briefs and big baggy
jeans. I imagine little satiny things like women wear would be even
harder to detect until it was too late.

I am just amazed at the number of these stories. I don't get it -- I take
off my pants, and then my underwear.
However, if we were talking about socks, that would be an entirely different

Well, that's why Josh commented on it -- "that's something, obviously, that
we'll be talking about later..."
I think it was sort of a metaphorical nod to Donna's naivete -- or at least
the way in which Josh perceives her, kids her and loves her for being naive.

Her legs would have moved inside the slacks via sitting and standing,
and walking around, so even a small bulge should have been noticed and
should have shifted position very early on. It's difficult for me to
imagine that she wouldn't feel the underwear slipping over\past her
foot, see it on the floor, or step on it.
Perhaps more important, though, really, what was the point? Rather
than having this odd event, they could have spent the time explaining
who Ben and Sally were, and what Leo said about someone's shoes..

it's happened to at least half a dozen people on this group including the one
that the above is in response to. why is it so hard for you to imagine it
happening to a fictitious character?

who ben and sally were was most likely not elaborated on for a list of reasons.
first off, who says that bradlee and quinn want their names attatched to the
show? they might not and, like he did many times on "sports night", aaron's
safer using just first names or slighly altering names to keep himself in the
clear. for those who got the small reference it was a wink and nod, for those
who didn't, it didn't matter.
who ben and sally were, what leo said about karen's shoes, whether sam got the
name right or where exactly donna dropped her panties isn't really important.
it was a big cycle of stupid events that we weren't supposed to get the full
details on. one vague screwup leads to another vague screwup and so on. it was
supposed to go all the way back around to leo.

It has darned near happened to me. It may be difficult for you to

There's no need to explain who Ben and Sally were. Obviously they were
Ben Bradley (sp?) and Sally Quinn. Whatever Leo said couldn't have been
nearly as interesting. His was the first in the sequence, and each
encounter with the NY Times columnist (forgot her name) became more and
more absurd. There was nothing to top dropping one's underwear at her
feet! ;-)

Ben (Bradlee) and Sally (Quinn) aren't exactly unknowns in Washington, but I
can understand how a lot of people in the rest of the country might not have

I had no idea who Ben and Sally were. However, it had no bearing on my
enjoyment or understanding of the scene. They apparently were people
who were hosting a party where this reporter was going to be. Any
further knowledge on who exactly they were was not necessary. Even now
with my super enhanced newsgroup knowledge, I see it as a cute reference
and not anything that needed explaining on the show.

Those posters all noticed it at some point - no one mailed their
scanties to them or their bosses. Donna remained totally oblivious.
Since we've certainly danced around this maypole long enough, I just
wish that Sorkin had resisted the temptation to put in this kind of
pointless detail.

It mattered enough to me that I stopped watching the episode "live". I
was taping it at the same time, and I figured that I must have missed
something crucial because Leo kept talking about having someone go to
Ben and Sally's dinner. Watched it from the start the next day, and
nope, there was no explanation. But at least there were also no
commercials to sit through.

Actually it's the "wearing" of the same panties twice that's the

brought up in the episode that the Audience would be asking. While "Josh"
is explaining it to her, the audience learns the info needed to understand
the issues of the episode. But her chemistry with "Josh" was so great, that
many people like myself actually found the "Josh-Donna" scenes some of their
favorites. Now she serves as the "Hepburn" in the "Tracey-Hepburn" type
relationship that "Josh" and "Donna" have.
How can she be an insult to working women, when the "Josh" character is
totally dependant on "Donna" to get his job done?

Especially if they're dry-clean-only. Wear once, then pay to dry clean? I

of the time those two scenes are not of substance to the major

If don't think you have to be a ditz to wear the same pair of pants. How
about incredibly busy and maybe a little tired in the morning from working a
long night. Most of my slacks stay relatively clean and can be worn twice.
I've been in a terrible rush and just put on what was in front of me before.
I just don't think it's so odd.

She definately has excellent acting ability, but chemistry between her and
"Josh" is also a major part of it.

i would probably wear pants two days in a row if they were simple and it
wouldn't be obvious. i mean, i certainly get up and throw on the same pair of
jeans from the night before from time to time.
but, yeah, i don't a single person who doesn't wear their dry clean only stuff
more than once before taking it back to the cleaners.

That's where I've seen her before! I watched that movie last summer when it
was on Showtime because Chris Meloni was in it, and it kept driving me crazy
because I recognized the woman in it but couldn't place her.
Thanks, Amy!

You wash jeans?
I don't remember; did she wear them two days in a row? They could be
dress slacks, too. She might wear them when she goes out to dinner or
a museum opening, so they could be good for several wearings between
cleanings.

I hesitate to continue this thread...but what the heck...
As someone who doesn't use fabric softener (to save on grocery bills) and
someone who often buys cotton/polyester blend fabrics (to save on clothing
shopping bills) I find that socks, underwear, etc... stick to clothing
constantly. It's the very bane of my existence and has often challenged me
to change my tight-wad ways to buy fabric softener or softener sheets or
static-cling once in a while. It's very easy for something to stick to an
item of clothing without my being aware. Nothing (thankfully) has ever
fallen out but I live in fear that one day something will and at the most
inopportune time. More frustrating is that socks or undies will stick to my
bed linens and I'll think that they've gone to sock heaven until I strip the
bed to find they've been hiding there all along. So, in short, I think it
very plausible that a pair of underwear would surreptitiously lodge
themselves in a place in your slacks where (considering the added padding of
pantyhose) they may not be felt until it's too late.
Anyway, this show never ceases to amaze me much in the same way the Sports
Night did. Long live The West Wing!

Thanks for the heads up, Amy. I have all the 'From the Earth to the Moon'
shows - now I have a reason to go back and re-watch them! As if I don't
have enough to watch now ;-)

Oh hell.
You come in late, you're tired. You kick off your shoes at the door and
walk to the bedroom. Grabbing underwear and pants both in your thumbs
you slide your pants off and pitch them across the chair or bedstand
and go to bed. In the morning or the next day, you're not thinking
about where your underwear ended up - you're getting dressed. If the
pants are still clean and wrinkle free, you pull them on. If you're not
being especially attentive, you don't notice that your underwear have
slipped down the leg and are clinging to the inside of your pants.
It happens.
And to tell the truth, I don't spend a great deal of time thinking
about my dirty underwear. There's only so many places they could be.

Those wouldn't be the words I'd choose. IOW - Donna has bigger fish to
fry and made a relatively common, innocuous error that is slightly

She may not listen to her mother, but she is certainly not a slob. Donna is
usually well dressed and, except for the one time that psople commented on
when she was wearing an open blouse over a tank top, usually quite elegantly
and conservtively.

If you notice quite often Josh looks rumpled, as if he hasn't had time to
shave or go home and change clothes. Guess we can excuse him because he's so
busy, but Donna, who always looks pretty together imo, gets deemed a slob
because of one off screen faux pas? Seems like Donna works almost as hard as
Josh. Let's say we cut her some slack.
I like the few scenes we've gotten of folks in casual clothes. Last week's
ep that had the guys in their jeans and sweatshirts was a treat. Josh looks
pretty cute in his jeans.
I was surfing around and just happened to catch a brief glimpse of Bradley
Whitford in one of the nerd movies. He was not a nerd but one of the snotty
guys. Weird to see him with so much hair. He's much cuter now.

heh, yummy rumpled Josh. yeah.
uh, sorry. Oops. Back to the topic - Donna always looks very neat and
put together, and I agree with the original poster she is most
definitely not a slob - near as we can tell, and certainly she has it
all over Josh in terms of making it into work in clean, pressed clothes.

She just drops her dirty underwear at social functions.
It wasn't so much being in rumpled clothes - - but the idea of not
knowing where her dirty underweard is - - remember what you're mom
told you about having clean underwear on in case you were in an
accident.

Gee, thanks for sharing that image. The didn't look that dirty when Josh was
fondling them. Maybe the reporter washed them first <g>. Besides, I don't
think it's a regular thing with her. Just a fluke.
> It wasn't so much being in rumpled clothes - - but the idea of not

Well, I've come home late from work so tired I just peeled everything off.
I'm still inclined to cut her some slack. One faux pas does not mean it's a
regular thing.

I'd probably wet my pants if I was in an accident. I imagine the state of my
underwear would be the least important thing on my mind or my mothers. But
that's just me. Besides don't most of us have categories of underwear? Date
underwear, comfortable underwear, newest underwear, not quite new,
time-of-the-month underwear and cleaning rags.
Hmmm, maybe I'll buy some new underwear tomorrow.

Yeah, my first thought during the 'underwear scene' in 'The Leadership
Breakfast' was that Josh and Sam had no room to judge Donna. I recalled the
pilot where Josh and Sam had a conversation that went something like this.
Josh: Isn't that the same suit you wore yesterday?
Sam: Yeah. You?
Josh: Yeah.
Although, being guys, they would probably take great pleasure in torturing
Donna over the incident.

Doesn't wearing the same clothes often mean that they "got lucky"?
IIRC, in the pilot, Sam had spent the night with Laurie. Josh slept at
the office.
AMYSA
>Doesn't wearing the same clothes often mean that they "got lucky"?
in real life and sitcoms it often does, but in the case of this show it seems
to indicate that they work 24 hours a day.
sam slept a laurie's, but if he hadn't been paged, there's no reason to believe
he wouldn't have swung by his apartment and picked up a change of clothes.
gcutler
clothes especially since the clothes don't exactly jump out from the average
clothes anyone else wears. Most of my work clothing is identical (like 3
pair of identical blue dockers, and 2 pair of identical black dockers, etc.)
When I wore suits to work, it was pretty similar to my more casual wardrobe
on redundancy. Remember Men like to join the Army because they are told
what to wear and it is usually the identical thing every day (easier to roll
out of bed and get dressed) :-}
The only way most guys would notice would be the wrinkling associated with a
second day of wear (And even then maybe not).

Speaking of Yoyo Ma, if you like him, you'll love the music in Crouching Tiger,

call it. To answer the question...."has this ever happened to anyone in real
life?" Much to the embarrasment of my friend (who will remain
nameless)....YES! This friend came into work (Early Intervention Program..and
she was the Social Worker)...and suddenly there around her ankle was a pair of
panties and she was wearing a pair in the usual place. So, as creative as TWW
is....it has happened before.
