The Bottle Deposit, Parts 1 & 2 (Ep. 721 & 722)

Kramer and Newman scheme on how to make money off of the .10 bottle deposit in Michigan.  They eventually figure out that it will work using a USPS truck that Newman is driving.  Elaine goes to a JFK auction for J. Peterman to buy JFK's golf clubs.  She gets in a bidding war with Sue Ellen Mischke and ends up paying $15,000 more than he wanted.  She puts the clubs in Jerry's car, but then it gets stolen by his mechanic (Brad Garrett) who is upset that he doesn't care good care of it.

George is asked to do something by Mr. Wilhelm, but doesn't hear him because Mr. Wilhelm is in the bathroom.  Since he had been recently criticized for not paying attention, he decides to pretend like he knows the assignment.  Later, he gets praised for doing the job, even though he didn't.  Come to find out, Wilhelm forgot to take his medication and just did it himself, but did an awful job.  It was so bad that Mr. Steinbrenner, thinking George did it, has George sent to the nut house.

Interesting quote: "It was the Peace Corps that gave me my start.  Clothing the naked natives of Bantubesh." - J. Peterman

Grade: A- (Usually the one hour episodes get a high grade in my book.  Lots of good stuff.)
