Case of the Mondays: Seinfeld Style

June 12th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

(Monk’s Restaurant - Jerry, George)

Jerry: So what’s the deal with Americans calling soccer, soccer? I mean, it’s a game in which only your feet are used, why don’t we call it football like the rest of the world?

George: Yeah. Have you been watching any of this World Cup? It’s madness. I saw England beat Paraguay 1-0 on Saturday. And how about the Ivory Coast stopping their civil war because they qualified for their first World Cup? My mother and father can’t find any reason to end their 30-year civil war, but the Ivory Coast make the World Cup and boom – civil war on hold.

(Enter Elaine)

Elaine: What’s up Georgie Porgie? Jerry?

Jerry and George: Hello, hello.

Elaine: So George, thanks a lot for those Yankees tickets yesterday. But a 6-5 loss and getting sweep by the A’s for the first time at home since ’94? What kind of a mood was Steinbrenner in this morning?

George: I don’t know.

Jerry: You’re sleeping under your desk again, aren’t you?

George: Yeah, it’s a Monday Wednesday thing. Tuesdays and Thursdays I act really annoyed at my desk, so it’s looks like I’m in the middle of some hard work.

Elaine: And Fridays?

George: Well Fridays I have a new plan. Get this. I roam the halls all day with a stack of papers in my hands, so it looks like I’m either dropping something off to someone or I’m heading back to my office with the stack. Brilliant, huh?

Jerry: Yeah, sounds like a seamless plan, George.
