Frank Costanza: Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?
George Costanza: Why don't we talk about it another time.
Frank Costanza: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a chicken. Something's missing!
Mrs. Ross: Something's missing all right.
Mr. Ross: They're all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them.
Frank Costanza: That's perverse.

The Rye
10 July 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A lot of season 7 episodes are funny. This one is no exception. Elaine is seeing a jazz saxophonist & everything is going OK, until Jerry gets word to him that he & Elaine are "hot & heavy." Cosmo Kramer over buys stuff at a warehouse club store. Then while trying to lug a bunch of stuff to his apartment, another tenant of the building offers him a chance to run his handsome cab while he is on vacation. Giddy-up says Cosmo.

George takes his parents to Susan's to meet Susan's parents for dinner. On the way they get a Snitzer Rye bread to take. This causes a ridiculous team of George, Jerry & Kramer after George's dad takes the rye bread home to put another one in Susan's parents house. Imagine combining these three, a gassy horse, fishing line, & Jerry mugging an old lady together? Funny & yet delightful comedy.
