Can someone help me here? In the episode where George first goes to work for "Play-Now" (I think that was the name of the company), he is in Jerry's appartment talking about why his cane is cool, as opposed to a crutch. What was the exact quote? Thanks!

he is in Jerry's

In a bar:

J: Hey, no more crutches. That must be a relief. G: Yeah, with crutches everyone has questions. J: Not with a cane? G: Nah. With crutches, it's a funny story. With a cane, it's a sad story.

Or could be in Jerry's apt. after George got a job and he was explaining the "advantages" of being thought of as handicapped.......

Jerry: Hold on, they think you're handicapped?

George: Yeah, yeah, well, because of the cane. You should see the bathroom they gave me!

Jerry: How can you do this?

George: Jerry, let's face it, I've always been handicapped. I'm just now getting the recognition for it. Name one thing I have that puts me in a position of advantage. Huh? There was a guy that worked at the Yankees-- no arms! He got more work done than I did, made more money, had a wife, a family, drove a better car than I did.

Jerry: He drove a car with no arms?

George: Alright I made up the part about the car, but the rest is true. He hated me anyway!
