Jerry: Wait a second.. Were you wearing those shoes in the cab?

Kramer: Yeah, yeah! Right after I left the Y.

Jerry: Don't you see what's happened?? He couldn't talk, he's wearing these shoes, he's drooling...

Elaine: He thinks you're mentally challenged!

Jerry: Well...........

Elaine: Well, what happens when you show up? He'll see that you're not!

Jerry: Not necessarily because.....

csb/ this was probably almost 17-18 years ago.  It was an era when hardsided briefcases were still somewhat common, the laptop bag or backpack or rolling case was quite rare.  I was visiting a field office in the midwest and took a younger guy with me to a fairly important meeting.  I was meeting him at the client's office and sent him a list of some documents to print and bring with him from his local office.  I told him to bring them in a briefcase or some kinda professional looking bag, no backpacks or loose.  He shows up in what is obviously his dad's or granddad's briefcase.  We start sorting them in advance of the conference room.  All that's in the briefcase was the manila file, a pack of gum, and his keys.  I told him, "okay Kramer, don't let anybody see the inside of this briefcase until we leave."  He never understood the reference, I never talked to him again, and to this day when I'm taking things in/out of my laptop bag for business travel my wife still asks if I need anything and then says, "that's what makes this so difficult."  and we have a laugh before I leave town.  Always loved that episode and how helpful she is whenever I pack for work.  /csb

I never found out what happened to that kid at the office up there.  I'd like to think he prepared the proper reports some day after that.

I just won a Seinfeld trivia night with a buddy and he brought his girlfriend and she contributed quite a bit.  He needs to hold onto her like grim death.

In the diner, when you’d see someone sitting in the background at a table near the door, that was often someone who won a charity auction and the prize was an appearance in a Seinfeld episode.

When I was 17, I got a traffic ticket around Wimberly, and I didn’t think I deserved it.  So I showed up to my hearing, which wasn't really a hearing at all... just a 70-something year old judge just kicking back in his office, with his clerk outside making sure I had a punitive 30- minute wait for daring to show up.  
 

I wanted to look respectful, but the only “briefcase” I owned was one that was made to carry cassette tapes.  Dumped those out.  But if you looked inside, you’d know immediately what the case was for. 
 

He listened to me plead my case, and nodded his head very graciously, and said, “Son you can pay (the secretary) as you leave.”

We have a little Kramer in our personalities, whether we want to admit it or not.  

Speaking of cassette tapes...

"Hey, and by the way, that Walkman was broke when you gave it to me."

The truth must be heard.  That's all there was. And yet, it speaks volumes. A low rumple. A metallic squink. A glonk. Someone crying out Dear God!

Which for some reason contained a running tape recorder, George.

One guy liked "Two and a Half Men" more than "Seinfeld" and Biff lost his fucking mind. 

Actually, it's more nuanced than that.  

It does actually serve an interesting purpose---you forget how many shows Seinfeld has influenced in the short ~20 years it's been off the air.  And you forget how many other shitty shows before and after are considered "influential"
