    He Followed Through
    Jerry goes through utter humiliation when he unwittingly agrees to wear a shirt on the Today show. It is Kramer's girlfriend who speaks so low we can't hear her. The shirt is an ugly pirate thing out of the 18th Century and her career depends on his wearing it. Of course, it all goes south. The other plot involves George becoming a hand model. The best part is the story he is told about a guy who did so much modeling his hands became like crabs. But this is all for naught. Jerry's expressions as he appears on the show are priceless. He is doing the honorable thing but can only take so much. Of course, Kramer dances around, causing damage wherever he goes.
