"Junior mints" - Didn't get these

Help. I didn't get the following conversations in the last episode.

^^^^^^ What does this mean ?

In an article, [email] (Vilok Kusumakar) writes:

Florence Nightingale: English nurse/philanthropist 1820-1910. Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross Society 1821-1912. Susan B. Anthony: American Suffragist 1820-1906

All famous women, presumably Florence or Clara fell in love with a patient (or at least George "I am brainless....I am without a brain" Costanza thinks so.) The conversation digresses to Susan B. Anthony who fought for women's suffrage. George has lumped these famous women from the 1800's together. Jerry confirms that George would have his hands full with Susan.

It is part of the "10" code, used by Police and Citizens Band (CB) radio operators as a communication shorthand. 10-4 = "Roger, will comply", or "you got it", or "yes that is correct" depending on context. Now a part of American (non-radio) slang.

you people are complete losers! Don't you have anything else to do with your time? Get a girl/boyfriend or something. Move out of your parents basesments.

Jerry

        Is this really Jerry? The Jerry? This is my first post ever, and I hope
it is working because I would be honored if it is going to Mr. Seinfeld. I mean
how could anyone not like you :-). I find myself as usual in total agreement
with you concerning the above mentioned post.
	Doesn't it strike you as funny that he would post that considering the
fact that he must be spending some time himself reading the material. Just an
observation.

oh by the way...I do have a girlfriend and she is spectacular!!!

My guess would be Dana Robert Haagensen of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. But maybe this person *knows* Jerry. Or is channeling him.

And did you think that Jerry having an account at a college (hence the .edu) was at all odd, anyway?

Still, the effect was cute, whoever did it.

(And, sorry Jerry, in case I am wrong. Just covering my butt.)

Well, as much as we would all like to believe this, consider the following:

1) I have read somewhere on the net, in a newusers group or somewhere, that there are frequent claims in the fan groups and the like that the object of the groups is lurking or posting under a very believable looking header. They assure us that this is easy to forge and should be taken with a grain of salt.

2) I tried talking and sending mail to this site. Both of these produced the response 'unknown host'. I discussed it with the sysadmin at my site who reiterated #1 above and to whom I forwarded the bounced mail for him to decipher further.

3) As a student of the unique seinfeldian way of phrasing a sentence (I'm an amateur comedian myself) and selecting and treating a topic , I can say without a doubt that he would not have chosen to reveal him- self with a post that said essentially nothing more than 'Oh yeah!?!' If there were some sort of attack on his character that prompted a response that was a clear and articulate stream of unmistakeable seinfeldian prose, I could willingly suspend my disbelief. As it stands, I find it all very unlikely.

4) Right now, Jerry is making commercials, tv shows and performing stand up comedy. I doubt seriously whether he has the time, not to mention the facilities to 'net around'. I also doubt that he has nothing better to do than read posts about himself and his show. I don't dispute that he has the inclination (after all, wasn't he supposed to be on prodigy?) But as a very busy man, I doubt he has the time or computational resources given the travel his job requires. If there are further posts under this name (that is, frequent and bland) then I can only conclude that a.t.s is the stage for an ill-conceived attempted hoax.

Just my 300 pesos.

he's a pretty good writer of humorous fantasy, ala douglas adams, except that i feel that he's better. --- later, sunil

Nice trick Dana! You got me for a second there!

What's hollywood.edu?

Aw, you can tell it's a fake, else it would have been "hollywood.unedu" :)

I hate to sound stupid, but is this really Jerry Seinfeld? Some e-mail me direct, as I don't normally follow this newsgroup. It's a late night. I'm bored.

BTW, my fave episode is the one where George and Jerry take the limo intended for a Nazi writer. A hoot. Seinfeld is second only to the Simpsons.

Hey, I've got tickets!! June in Louisville. See ya there. P. Tierney

We're losers? At least we know where the shift key is!!!

I have a wife, I don't need a girlfriend. However, I know some guys who could use a boyfriend.......

Wow, you're right!! What have I been thinking!! I need to do something meaningful in my life. Like, hmmmm??? I've got it. I'm going to post "get a life" messages to usenet newsgroups! Now, that would be fulfilling, wouldn't it?

Anyway, it seems that various episodes have a "rule" du jour, not just the "Contest". How about we try to compile a list of them? -DW "standard disclaimer"

Fire/Police/Ambulance services have a number of codes they use over radio in order to avoid the confusion of multiple common sayings that mean the same thing.

10-4 =   O.K., I understand what you just said.
	(or if they are asked to do something)
	 O.K., I heard what you just said and will do that.
	 O.K., I will do that

(similar to the Airline/CB radio response of ROGER THAT)

other examples include 10-1 (Return to the station), 10-6(What`s your position), 10-8 (In service).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alot of women history here. Florence Nightengale was a nurse that helped wounded soldiers in the battlefield during (forget which one) some war.

Clara Barton was a women who founded the Red Cross

I forget who Susan B Anothony was, but she`s another popular woman in American history.

I hope I have this right, I don't remember my history that well
