I can't remember.  Anyone remember which eps had
Jerry messing with the telemarketers?
(And the correct wording, if possible.)

Both of those quotes are correct - he did it at least 2 times. I can't tell you the episodes though. I can at least give you the wording:

Jerry: Hello? Woman: Hello, are you interested in subscribing to the New York Times? Jerry: (cheerful) Yes! (hangs up the phone)

This was as good as the time when a man called Jerry and asked about switiching long-distance companies. Remember that one?

Jerry: Hello? Man: Hello, would you be interested in switching long-distance companies? Jerry: Well, tell you what, I'm busy, but why don't you give me your home number and I'll think about it and call you back? Man: Uh, I'm sorry, I can't do that. Jerry: Oh, so I guess you don't like people calling you at home. Man: Well, uh, no. Jerry: Oh, well then you know how I feel. (hangs up the phone)

I'm almost positive the second one where he asks for the telemarketers home phone is from the episode where George first asks Susan out. Susan and George have just come in and Jerry excuses himself to answer the phone. After that, Kramer promptly throws up on Susan. Anybody else remember if that was the one?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
