 __ Submitted for your approval:  two TV shows with alt.tv
  _ newsgroups.  At some point in these shows, characters have
    asserted their attraction to members of the opposite sex.
    In both cases, an incomprehensible reference to pant-like
    clothing is mentioned.

_Twin_Peaks_
~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Denise (_nee_ Dennis) Bryson:  Just how old is that girl?
    Cooper:  I didn't know you were still interested.
    Denise:  I put my panties on one leg at a time, if you
             know what I mean.
    Cooper:  No, not really.

_The_Simpsons_
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Homer:  You're not married, are you?
    Seymour "Spanky" Skinner:  Just to my job.
    Homer:  But if you were married, you'd go for a girl, wouldn't
            you?
    Skinner:  >Heh< >heh< >heh<.  Yes, these pants come off at
              night, just like everybody else's.

 __ What does these statements mean?  Is Denise implying that gay
  _ transvestites put their panties on two legs at a time?  Is
    Spanky suggesting that gay people leave their pants on at
    night?  What gives? :-)
