Fans debate whether Jerry's catchphrase in "The Race" is "I choose not to race" or "I choose not to run," with consensus that it's the latter.
A friend and I have a bit of a Seinfeld sticking point. In Episode #96 "The Race", Jerry's constant rebuttal for not running against his old high-school adversary is either: "I choose not to race" or "I choose not to run"
I believe the former. Who's with me?
Nope, it's "run". Think about it; it's funnier that way. It sounds like someone announcing that he's not going to run for office (like LBJ).
ok

It just happens to be "I choose not to run."
CHEESE. I LIKE IT!
How would "I choose not to race" be funny?
