Best of the morning after

In the our local newspaper TV listing of Seinfeld for that night, it described the show as "Elaine sits next to a Corpse".

Everybody knows it's the Grand Central to the Van Wyck dammit!

I don't think it could be George's mom - the woman said that her son wasn't as *round-shouldered* as Paul's Ob/Gyn friend.

And did I ever feel cosmicly connected with the show when my wife and I took the uncomfortable sofa bed!

Thanks to 'Unsolved Mysteries' a fella can't commit a decent crime anymore.

The only thing that probably kept Jerry from going into rag city was that 'Babs' is an american institution (,who should be institutionalized).
