Hi! I was just wondering... Are the sections in Jerry's book Seinlanguage taken from the show, or were they written only for the book, or both? I seem to recall hearing some of them on the older episodes...
My favorite passage in the book is the one where Jerry discusses shower radios! That bit cracked me up!!!!

The sections in 'SeinLanguage' are just collections of routines from Jerry's standup act. Some of them appear on the television show and others do not.
Yeah, that's one of my personal favorites, too. Especially, "I guess there's no better place to dance than on a slippery surface next to a glass door". Pure genius!

I believe all the entries in the book are older things he had used in his act long before the show. Then he also used them in the show since the show is supposed to be about how daily occurances are perfect material for stand-up comedy. (he said this on "Uncut" on E! not long ago).

I bought this book, but spilled an entire 32oz Coke on it before I even looked at the first page. Was it funny?...the book I mean.
