The Junior Mint

Aired Thursday, March 18, 1993 · 30 min

Elaine's ex-boyfriend is recovering in the hospital and has surgery. The gang goes to visit. Kramer gets the idea to paint his apartment to simulate the feel of a ski lodge. While at the hospital, Kramer's concern about the operation gets him and Jerry in to watch. But when Kramer sneaks in candy and forces it on Jerry, Jerry starts a chain reaction that causes the Junior Mints to land in Elaine's ex-boyfriend. Jerry thinks he may have killed the guy while George, who learns that he has recently come into some money, decides to invest in the ex-boyfriend's artwork.

Question

Best of the morning after

And when he entered the patient's room, holding a huge bouquet of gloves, "Paydirt!"

Al Wesolowsky, the next day · Delores

What part of the female anatomy does that rhyme with?

Chris T Papaleonardos, the next morning · Dolores?

All famous women, presumably Florence or Clara fell in love with a patient (or at least George "I am brainless....I am without a brain" Costanza thinks so.)

Try clitoris and play with the pronunciation.

The only body part that I know that rhymes with Deloras is ass.
