Did this really happen on West Wing? Or did you make it up. Rotflol
It wasn't in the show, but mumps is one of the few common diseases that still needs an extended quarantine, and I wanted a reason for Lois to be in Washington and doing the job of the Planet's usual reporter.
the rest of the time he was tied to a giant exploding rutabaga waiting for Superman to rescue him, but..."
Reminds me of the fic ‘Meet Sam Wayne’ and it’s predecessor where the Kent kids had to holler rutabaga when they were in trouble. Must be something special about those rutabagas…
First American vegetable name that popped into my head, Meet Sam Wayne is probably why.
Lois rummaged in her bag again, guessing what was coming next.

Because Superman was already on his way back to Metropolis, or already there, and the range of his super-hearing is limited.
