Best of the morning after

β€œI wonder if george will come over and hound my family now, or : perhaps desecrate my grandpa's headstone.”

β€œI must express my admiration for the clever way that you got me to overlook the obvious mis-placement of this post(do you really think adding a "Seinfeld Rules!"”

β€œUnless the baker coughs all over everything; then, you've got David Duke and Farrakhan in your stomach!”

β€œGeorge: Good writer, Truman Capote.”

β€œHe's deaf and dumb, but he's smart."”

β€œHence,the arguement follows Kramer: "You're just in it for the sex!!!"”
