The Pony Remark (Ep. 202)

Jerry and Elaine go to a dinner party for his mom's second cousin, Manya. During the party he makes the off-handed comment that he hates ponies and hated anyone that had a pony growing up. Manya then states that she had a pony growing up and that back in Poland all of her friends had ponies. "All the pictures of immigrants coming in on the boats and I never saw one of them with a pony. Who comes from a country with ponies to a non-pony country?"
The day after the party Manya dies and the funeral coincides with Jerry's rec league softball championship. He debates whether to go to the funeral or to the softball game, but eventually opts for the funeral, because he's afraid he killed her with his comment. The game rains out and the next day during the game he gets picked off to end the game. Elaine claims it's the curse of Manya.

Interesting facts: I'm making this part of the series a once in a while thing because I'm finding that once you get past the first 4 episodes of the show, it's harder to find something unique and interesting about each episode.

Interesing quote: "Yeah, I can't eat dessert either. The sugar makes my ankles swell up and I can't dance." (Jerry making an excuse for not eating dessert so he can leave the party early)

Grade: A (One of the first really funny episodes, especially since it has to do with death)
