When George is talking to Jerry about the $20,000 check for the Human Fund, he does a whole bit about how he'd like to be a philanthropist. However, George HAS been a philanthropist, and he DIDN'T like it. Remember the foundation in honor of George's deceased fiancee that her parents set up, and that George had to run?

Agreed- George WAS a philanthropist- though he wasn't able to give money to who he wanted, etc. due to the board. I think it would have been in character for Jerry to point out "You've been a philanthropist" and George can say "not on my terms" or something-

Another inconsistancy was that Kramer had been working at the bagel shop 12 years ago, when we learned only a few weeks ago that Jerry has known Kramer for 13 years (when he moved in-- Backwards ep.) and in that entire time has never known Kramer to have a job.

Yes, this is either an inconcistency or its an example of George's consistant spouting off without thinking first.

I'd vote for George spouting off. He didn't WANT to be part of the Foundation, anyway. It reminded him too much of what he missed out on, I think. [email] "Hindsight is 20/20 vision"
