Summary- Josh and Donna banter, Toby smiles.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Josh, you
have staff in two," Donna informed her boss, leaning in his doorway.
Josh stood up.
"And thanks to my wonderful assistant, I'm going to be late." He took off into his bullpen, Donna in tow.
"Josh, do you
know what kind of commercial I saw on TV last night?"
"Donna, I
really don't have time to care right now."
"A Pepsi
commercial involving stripping penguins."
"Stripping
penguins?"
"Right down to
their colorful thongs."
"Thongs,
Donna? Really…"
"Thongs. One being of a leopard print."
"Leopard?"
"That's
right."
"That's not
right in so many ways."
"They threw
articles of clothing at an elderly gentleman enjoying a day at the zoo with his
two grandchildren."
"Donna, I
don't care."
"I didn't
expect you to. Anyway, they do this
strip tease thing and then drink lemon flavored Pepsi."
"Lemon Pepsi?"
"Lemon
Pepsi. Okay, now, don't you think that
maybe animal rights activists would have a problem with penguins forced to
strip tease on national TV?"
"I seriously
doubt they'd do anything but laugh."
"They had mini
penguin tuxedo jackets thrown at some poor elderly gentleman!"
"Does this
have a point?"
"Not
especially. But come on, Josh. They embarrassed the penguins!"
"I don't think
the penguins could have cared much."
"Penguins have
feelings too, Josh."
"I need to hit
CJ up for some Advil," he said, mostly to himself. Donna didn't pay much attention anyway, just kept on babbling.
"It's cruelty
to animals, Josh! To make defenseless
penguins strip tease and wear leopard thongs is wrong. They were probably scared the rest of the
leopard was around somewhere and was going to eat them."
"Do leopards
even eat penguin?"
"They could if
they were hungry."
By this time,
they had reached Leo's office. "Donna,
I'm late. Drop the penguins, okay?"
"Josh, they're
torturing them!"
"Drop
it!" Josh walked into the meeting and
Donna huffed off in annoyance, searching for someone else to present her story
to.
"Josh, you're
late," Leo said pointedly as he sat next to CJ on the couch.
"Donna was
torturing me with her incessant chattering about some Pepsi penguins being
forced to wear thongs or something."
That statement was rewarded with a strange look from Leo and snickers
from Sam and CJ. Toby just stood there
looking somewhat amused. (Or as amused
as any Toby Ziegler could look.)
"Don't ask."
"You mean
there were penguins in thongs?" CJ laughed.
"One was
leopard print."
"Leopard print!" She was laughing almost to the point of
tears. Sam was almost to the point of
falling out of his chair.
"And knowing
our Donna, she's going to bug you about this for the rest of the week," Sam
said after he got some of his breath back.
"I just have
one question, Josh," Toby stated flatly, only letting the corners of his mouth
turn slightly upward.
"What's that?"
Josh asked, almost dreading it.
"The real
question here is how much exactly do you think those penguins got * paid * for
their little display?"

That's it. Another
bad fic, brought to you by Liz Huisman.
The same one who brought you that other fic that no one is bothering to
review (hint, hint). Please take a
moment out of your wonderful lives to boost my self-esteem so I can post more
bad fics. (But hey, one of these days, I might actually stumble across a * good
* idea and actually have it turn out good!)
Here's to wishin… Liz.
