The Phone Message (Ep. 207)

George asks a woman out on a date, then at the end of the date, she invites him up for coffee. To which he replies, "no I can't drink coffee late at night, it keeps me up." The next day he realizes that she wasn't really asking him up for coffee and he assumes he blew it. He then calls her up, but the answering machine picks up instead and he leaves a rambling message for her. After he doesn't hear anything from her he calls again leaving increasingly crazy messages for the next 3 days. He then gets a call from her saying she was out of town and didn't know if he had been trying to reach her.
He devises an elaborate scheme to meet her at her apartment and then go up with her and switch out the tapes on her machine so that she never hears it. After they make it up to her apartment she tells him that she heard his messages and thinking they were a joke, says they were hilarious.

Interesting facts: Jerry admits to having never seen an episode of I Love Lucy and also to being lactose intolerant.

Interesting quote: "For me to ask a woman out I have to be in a state of mind like karate guys when they break the bricks." - George

Grade: B (Solid episode, very funny, but not legendary)
