In my mind, I can picture Kramer ending up with the short end of a wishbone. Am I imagining it?
By the way, how about Al and George W getting together on Thanksgiving night and each grab an end of a wishbone and pull...winner take all.
Flipping a coin - Jerry and George - The Apartment Rock Scissors Paper - Mickey and Kramer - The Stand In One Spot Two Spot ... - Kramer and Newman - The Bookstore A Foot Race - Jerry and Duncan - The Race Abstinence - Jerry, Kramer, Elaine and George - The Contest Wishbone - Kramer and FDR - The Betrayal (not straws as I thought) Feats of Strength - George and Frank - The Strike Inkie dinkie, ... - George and Kramer - The Statue
They "Choose" for the new apartment in "The Robbery" after the coin flip goes awry: "You've got odds. You've got evens". And George, after losing, screaming "Why did I put out two"

What about bets? I think it was the Airport when George had to pick up Jerry and Elaine because he couldn't jump and touch something or another. Also, Kramer and the guy who was buying the Cuban cigars (in a different episode) were betting on arrivals (The Diplomat's Club). Um, Kramer and Elaine both bet on horses (the Subway, the Strike, respectively). In the Susie Kramer also bet on a Knick/Pacers game under Jerry's name. Kramer and Jerry bet on whether Kramer would have steps built into his place (forgot ep. name).
As for contests, George and Lloyd were having one to see who could sell more computers (the Serenity Now). Or I guess it could go under "Choosing a winner" because Frank was choosing a winner based on sales. But don't contests choose winners? Don't bets choose winners as well? What was the question?
That's great when they play 'Rock, scissors, paper'.Kramer says paper and Mickey says rock and then Mickey says he won. Kramer argues that he thought paper wins rock. Mickey says rock flyes right trough paper. "Then what beats rock?" "Nothing beats rock." Kramer and Mickey: Rock Scissors Paper... Kramer: Rock. Mickey: Rock. Kramer and Mickey: Rock Scissors Paper... Kramer: Rock. Mickey: Rock. . . .
=============== JERRY: Inka-dink, a bottle of ink. The cork fell out, and you stink. Not because you're dirty, not because you're clean - just because you kissed the girl behind the magazine.. (He lands on Kramer, then completes the rhyme) And you are it! (Lands on George)
KRAMER: What?! Wait a minute. No, no, no. What are you doing? No, no, oh, oh, okay. He's out. I get it.
GEORGE: No, no, no, no.. I'm "it". I win.
JERRY: No, he's it. He wins. "It" is good.
KRAMER: Do over - start with him.
JERRY: No, no, no, come on, Kramer. Now, you got the socks.
