Caught this episode last night, and noticed an odd bit when the group gets the redhead to drive them around the garage to look for Kramer's car. In the next scene, the car comes around the corner, screeches to a stop, and the woman screams, "Get out!" They do, and George says, "But I don't even know L. Ron Hubbard!" and Jerry says, "Scientologists can be so sensitive."
Hypothetically, I wonder what George said to piss the woman off?
Hmmmm...

He probably uttered a truism about Scientology.
Like Jerry says, they can be sensitive.
I noticed that too. This is probably one of my least favorite episodes for jokes exactly like that. Since we're watching the episode now, I can only assume George made fun of Battlefield Earth.
Religion jokes in general or just Scientology jokes?
I'm pretty sure that episoded aired long before that movie came out.

Especially when they're leggy redheads who'll give you a ride to look for your car? Me, too.

That's what makes it funny. Not knowing. The real joke is that Jerry is/was a quasi-scientologist.

I did not know that.
