Has anyone else noticed that everywhere Elaine has worked starts with the letter "P". I have Pendant, Pitts, and Peterman. If anyone can explain this or find somewhere she worked that doesn't begin with P, I would really like to know.

Why is that dumb? I think that's quite interesting. I've never really noticed it before, either. I wonder if the writers intentionally put that in there.

I think it's probably just because any last name (after the "Mr." part) sounds funnier when it starts with the letter "P" - just think about it - what sounds funnier, Mr. Peterman, Mr. Pitt or Mr. Smith or Mr. Johnson ?
