The writers ought to hire members of this NG as "continuity consultants"--I remember Jerry's and George's lives better than my own!

You certainly have thrown down the gauntlet in challenging this absurd premise.

Actually Quebec is the national debt.

That is also the infamous toilet toothbrush episode.

Like when Kramer put the crime scene tape over the banana and said to Elaine, "I'm going to eat that later."
