I like the bit where the whole episode should've just been 'The Bottle Deposit' (that's why the writers always name it, right... Or it cuz Jerry told 'em not to spend a lot of time on comin' up with the name n' focus on the stupid stories). So, anyway, yeah. Just Kramer and Newman's adventure is the only storyline that appealed me, which is usually the case. Either one outta the four or none at all. A whole hour episode that has a lot of bull-ish yammerin' like ''Brad Garett's automechanic 1-0-1'', the whole ''downtown'' scene filler, which is a reference only ''Sein-Fans'' would know 'bout cuz they're that old!!! Overall, just like the whole entire series itself: Meh...
Elaine is given ten thousand dollars to buy JFK's golf clubs at a memorability auction. She gets carried away and bids twenty thousand. Then she leaves the golf clubs in the back of Jerry's car. The car ends up at a service station run by a crazy looking Brad Garret because Kramer put food on Jerry's engine to warm it up! Don't ask. This is just the beginning because Garrett steals the car leading to a chase by a Postal Truck with Newman and Kramer trying to get to Michigan to turn in bottles and cans to get the deposits back. Soon they are in pursuit of Garrett and the golf clubs. It is an endless episode with no one winning in the end. Question: How many bottles of soda did Newman and Kramer have to drink to have enough to make a profit? Don't ask.
A 2 parter episode for another Seinfeld episode.

What was this episode about?: George is assigned a project and has no idea What the project is.
Kramer and Postal Worker Newman hatch a bottle Deposit scheme.
Elaine is dumb and bids for golf clubs.
Jerry goes against Everyone Loves Raymonds Brother.
Story and production: I loved the George segment. His segment had no relation to the other three at all.
Jerry's story was fun and intriguing just wish they added more interaction from Raymond's Bro and Jerry. Two was not enough.
Elaine goes up against the hot ass braless wonder and lets selfish ambition get in the way. She looked so ugly in this. How did her early season doll face become a witch looking witch.
Kramer's story was also fun. Anything with Newman adds some spice to it. No homo.
Overall a production consistent story. George ending up in the Arkham Asylum at the end was good continuity. I feel bad for him though because he's not crazy. He's just a Costanza.
Highlight: Mechanic Scenes, The braless Wonder was hot as damn... George figuring out the project.
Villain: Kramer for doing Newman dirty by throwing him out the truck in the middle of nowhere. That was horrible. They live in the same apartment.
Laugh Meter: 10
What can be learned?: Don't trust a schemer like Kramer
Verdict: Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe farmer's daughter's cry of "Goodbye, Norman! Goodbye!" at the end was not originally scripted. Actress Karen Lynn Scott forgot that Wayne Knight's character was called Newman and accidentally called him "Norman," but this actually made the scene funnier, so it was kept in. Newman's first name was never revealed during the series.
- GoofsElaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) paddle at the auction says 856 on the front and 858 on the back.
- Quotes
George Steinbrenner: He was only attracted to lactating women, but he's fine now. Of course, he eats a lot of cheese.
