Why did Kramer and Newman reverse their peephole? Won't people be able to see in and K and N would be unable to look out? Does anyone have an explanation? I missed the one they gave in the show.
Why did Kramer and Newman reverse their peephole?
Thread discusses why Kramer and Newman reversed their peephole in the episode, with one poster quoting Kramer's absurd logic about Radio Shack phone numbers as the answer.

So they can gather marketing data on you?
The reason i said that is because its a QUOTE from KRAMER... DUH! "And I never once washed my hands, thats you're policy, NOT mine!"
Around here, M Mart, Wal-Mart and Borders bookstore ask for your ZIP code. I just make up a number that's in the area, 'cause I don't want to go on no list. I'm on enough lists, and pretty soon the nice young men at the BATF will start using those lists.

**Addresses are usually for mailing lists...zip codes are usually just for marketing.ie: who is coming to my store..**
It Shrinks...???
Since when are Kramer and Newman's actions rational? Can something like this really be explained?

You're not very bright are you? Giving out your zip code doesn't get you on a list. How do they know where to call you or where to send you stuff? Huh, answer me that one smart guy. Jacques Buuted-Thugge wrote in message ...

I'm no Newmann but I think the Zip+4 deal only shows the Zip code area plus your neighborhood not your exact house location. Joe

They ask for zip codes so they know how their ads are doing. If they send out a flyer to my zip code, and a whole bunch of people come in, they will keep sending them to this zip code. If no one comes in, they either: Send a milion more to get the message through, or, figure "to hell with that zip code"

These days, a zip code is more useful to marketers, politicians, grifters, and others of their ilk than it is to most postal carriers or letter writers.
Billy--It's a little more complicated than that, but you're in the right 5-digit area.
Rick--You might want to mow your own yard before you bitch about how bad someone else's looks.
Jacques--Mon ami--you are on the money about ATF and other agencies. Zips are valuable information.

It was so they could see if anybody was "waiting to ambush them in their apartment with a bag full of pennies" or something very similar.
Too bad Joe Mayo didn't reverse his!
