George changed his mind about holding it up?

Everyone probably knows this already, but in The Wife george said that holding it up was "very bad for the kidneys (?)". But in The Betrayal doesn't want to go to the bathroom, but I thought he didn't like to wait. Now I know there are years between these two episodes, but still, sometimes they can bring back things that happend years ago but little things in the script will be forgotten. Ok, you can say it wouldn't be funny if it wasn't in there, but if they hadn't thought of it they would probably had something else that would be funny too...

Actually, the term is "holding it in."

They had Kramer change his thinking on underwear pretty quickly in "The Chinese Woman." He clearly states that he needs the 'secure packaging of Jockeys,' and that "his boys need a house." Soon, he's going crazy wearing boxer shorts ("there's nothing holding me in place! I'm flippin'! I'm floppin'!"). Then shortly afterward, when he's not wearing any underwear at all, he's perfectly comfortable ("like a naked innocent boy just roamin' the countryside").

-B.

That happened to me when I switched from jockeys to boxers about a decade ago. It was a bit weird at first, especially while wearing shorts--I kept having the disconcerting feeling that I was exposing myself. :-) But after a day or so I grew accustomed to it and never went back.

He also flip-floped between having showers and baths.

I'm sorry, but now that you mention it holding it up sounds totally wrong and I don't know how I could have said that;) Besides, I'm dutch (what is holland?)

It is just another bad bit of writing from the 8/9 seasons. These writers were not true to the characters in the show. George would not have been worried about the bathrooms in India, He pees everywhere, showers, bathrooms all over New York etc. It is JERRY who should have "held it in" because he is the psychotically clean character.

Don't forget his Open-Door pee policy.

Although I do agree with you to a certain extent, Mike, George is still being his paranoid self a bit I think. Sort of like the pigeons breaking the deal.
