OK, one more time.  For those of you who haven't hear me brag about
this episode, it's truly the funniest:  George and Elaine go and get
massages from these professional masseurs because they heard they could
write the massages off as tax deductions.  It turns out George gets
"Ray" and Elaine gets a woman masseus (sp?).  George begs Elaine to
switch with him, but she won't.  Ray comes out in his white slacks and
white shirt, "You ready George?"  George just froze.  On the massage
table, he couldn't relax.  He was in such a panic.  The scene switches
to George moping into Jerry's apartment later.  Jerry asks him, "what's
wrong?"  George tells him he got massaged by this guy "Ray" and Elaine
wouldn't switch with him.  Jerry says "what's so bad about that?" Then
George screams out, "IT MOVED."  He was so ashamed because IT MOVED
during the massage.

Jerry:  It MOVED?  Like, a lot?  
George: <groan> At least two inches.

The rest of the show, George was in a state of panic and defensive.
Afraid he might be gay. I think this was the same episode when Kramer
spots Joe D'Maggio in the diner. "Joe is a dunker."  A true crack up.

	On Mad About You, they mentioned the old address of the leading male
character whose name eludes me.  Remebering that that was sublet to Kramer, it
must be the address of Seinfeld.  Unfortunately, it was 149 W81 Street which
would be two blocks east of the Museum of Natural History in the middle of
Central Park.

My favorite scene from a Seinfeld episode was from "The Revenge" (I
think that's the name).  Anyway, it was the scene where Kramer 
convinces Jerry to pour concrete into the washing machine at this 
laundromat where Jerry lost a lot of cash.  Just watching Kramer 
pour concrete all over himself while Jerry is distracting the guy 
was hilarious.

No, you're not.  I love both shows.  My guess as to what's going on

In a previous post somebody related how they had written out 
the script of Jerry's ingenious solution to telephone
solicitation.  I, too, tried his gag on a phone solicitor, and
here's what happened:

Pesky Phone Solicitor:  Hello, I'm calling on behalf of 
	Vandalay Industries to tell you about our wonderful new
	Pez dispensers...  

Me:  Tell you what, I'm kind of busy right now.  Why don't you
	just give me your home phone number and I'll call you
	back there.

PSS:	Huh?

Me:	I say, I'm kind of busy right now.  Why don't you just
	give me your home phone number and I'll call you back
	at home.

PPS:	Well, I'm not calling you from my home.

Me:	Huh?

PPS:	I say, I'm not calling you from my home, so why would I
	give you my home number?

Me:	I'm not going to call you back right now, I'm going to
	wait until you get home from work, and _then_ I'm going
	to call you back on your home phone.

PPS:	But how would you know when I'm home?  And why would 
	you call me there?  I'm sorry, I just don't get your
	point.

Me:	Well, it was supposed to be a gag where I ask you for 
	your home number, and then you refuse to give it to
	me, and I ask if it's because you don't like to be
	bothered on the phone when you're at home, and you say
	yes, and then I say, "Well, neither do I," and slam
	the phone onto the receiver triumphantly.

PPS:	Huh?

Me:	It's supposed to be a joke.

PPS:	A joke?

Me:	Yeah, it's supposed to be a joke.

PPS:	Oh, I think I get it...  [She doesn't get it, she's 
	just trying to think of an excuse to end this call.]
	Well, um, if you're not interested in our new line
	of mail order Pez dispensers...  well, I've got 
	to call some other people now.

Me:	Don't be surprised if you hear this again.  It was
	just on Seinfeld this week.

PPS:	Huh?

Me:	I mean, somebody might try this on you again because
	it was just on Seinfeld.  [Pause.]  Seinfeld.  It's
	a TV show.

PPS:	A TV show.  [Pause.]  Well, I've gotta go now.

Me:	Sorry to bother you, I just had to try it on 
	somebody.

PPS:	No problem.  Bye.

If you've come this far, it's probably occurred to you that 
this call was not at all like Jerry's and was more like 
George trying to imitate Jerry's call, and getting Kramer's
sister on the other end.  
	I guess I should have written it out and taped it
by the phone.

because this is Paul's batchelor suite, that it is also the
current address of Kramer.

129 W. 81st Street

I'm mildly curious if they film the exterior shots from that location,
or whether they picked a random NY street and looked up.

All these choices are great examples of Seinfeld gold but I would like to
add to the roster the scene where George is adamantly denying that he has
a girlfriend.  Jerry asked him several questions which end with, "And do
you have tampax in your apartment? Do you?"  To which George squeimishly
replies, "Yes." Jerry then says very judgementally, "Then you *HAVE* a
