Does anybody have a wav file of Peterman in episode 135, I think it's called foundation, where he calls Elaine in a phone booth and says "it'll always be burma to me."?

If anybody does, could you e-mail it to me? Thanks.

The country officially changed it's name from Burma to Myanmar some time in the 1990s.

Yes, but not all in the world have agreed on the change. The Washington Post, Peterman - "you may know it as Myanmar...", and others still refer to the country as Burma.

Wow. That is an interesting read, or, certainly a lot to read into a Seinfeld episode, I'm not quite sure, yet. I'll see if I can't find the Post's justification for their continuing use of Burma.

Thanks.
