Quotes:

Jerry Seinfeld: [on Olympic Games] The Olympics is really my favorite sporting event. Although I think I have a problem with that silver medal.'Cause when you think about it,you win the gold-you feel good,you win the bronze-you think 'Well at least I got something'.But when you win that silver it's like 'Congratulations,you *almost* won. Of all the losers-you came in first of that group.You're the number one *loser*. No one lost ahead of you!'

Seinfeld is a genius

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the funniest stand up comedians out there today. Sure he may not be a saint (buying a whole building just for his cars)- but we do need to cut him some slack as he provided millions of people with millions of laughs for a long time. I saw "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" before I actually got into the series itself (I was young when it first aired and so now I am feasting off reruns). The fact that I had not seen nearly every Seinfeld episode (which now I have see most of) made this bit of stand up even funnier as I had never heard most jokes before. But still, It aired again a little while later and even though it was my second time seeing it, it was still very funny. Definitely recommended to all Seinfeld fans and I believe that many others will also be entertained. If you liked this and the Seinfeld series I would also recommend Jerry Seinfeld's book "SeinLanguage". Of course it's much funnier when you can can see and hear him tell the jokes and so if this ever comes on TV again you can bet I'll be taping it.
