Elaine is from Towson, Maryland.

George reveals he beat up Jerry or Jerry beat him up when they were 7 or 8 years old. This revealation is in The Betrayal . SOOO Jerry & George's relationship goes back atleast that far.

(BEING INTERVIEWED BY THE NYU WRITER) SHARON: SO HOW DID YOU TWO MEET? JERRY: ACTUALLY, WE MET IN THE GYM LOCKER ROOM. GEORGE: YEAH. ACTUALLY IT WAS IN GYM CLASS. I WAS TRYING TO CLIMB THE ROPES AND JERRY WAS SPOTTING ME. I KEPT SLIPPING AND BURNING MY THIGHS AND THEN FINALLY I SLIPPED AND FELL ON JERRY'S HEAD. WE'VE BEEN CLOSE EVER SINCE.

I found this on a quotes page. Don't know which episode it's from. Mike..?

That'd be from The Outing, where the NYU writer thinks Jerry and George are gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
