Seinfeld: the master of the pick-up

We've seen Jerry pick up women* in a variety of settings:

A dry-cleaner A dinner party (the first 'Seinfeld') A restaurant (Naomi, the hostess) an elevator (the brain-penis chess match) (George compares this pick-up to dismantling a time bomb, a line I've repeated frequently in conversation)

Would someone please help me by filling in the list? I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

*PS. The use of the term "pick up women" is merely an expression I use to denote the act of meeting women and engaging them in conversation, which eventually leads to a date in the future. I do not mean it to be offensive or to imply that women are objects meant to be picked up, used, or thrown away. I apologize to anyone who infers otherwise from my use of this term.

At a tennis match.

A theory.

George is the anti-Jerry, because try as George might, he can't seem to pick up women. Where as Jerry tries for funny lines George goes for props, which don't seem to eventually backfire. Here's 2 examples, does anyone have more?

• the Hat, which he won't remove because she'll see he's bald. Kramer asks to borrow the hat, George gets huffy, the woman chews out George, takes off. George screams "SEE, I'm BALD!"

• the Wedding Ring. George wears the ring because it will help him pick up women. He meets all kinds of women, but hey, he's married. uh-oh, didn't think of that!

These are the only 2 I could think of. If there are more, then I guess it's a bit. What do you think?

In article ,

It was Newman who wanted to try the hat on (The Parking Space)... George got mad at him... This sorta related back to some other post about The hatred between Jerry and Newman and if George and Kramer mind... I think George minds, but confrontations don't happen much between George and Newman, so we don't see it. But when they do, watch out.

Don't forget the lip reading episode; Jerry picks up a deaf lineswoman at the U.S. Open. (played by Marlee Matlin)

This was a great episode where George "borrows" Jerry's date to eavesdrop on his exgirlfriend to try and find out why she broke up with him. Marlee Matlin tries to lipread the conversation; signs it to Kramer (who knows sign language from a childhood friend). Kramer then repeats it to George .

Also thought there was a link to Jerry's book Seinlanguage.

P.S. * The use of the term "HELL" is merely an expression I use to indicate an emphatic tone which might otherwise be difficult to portray in this electronic medium. It is not meant as an attck (attack) upon or an abuse of any religion, race, or ethnic group. Or maybe it is. You decide. :)
