All About Turkey

You might think that today's Seinfeld moment would be all about Festivus, but if you did you would be wrong. Today's Seinfeld moment hit me when I was washing down my delicious turkey dinner with some fine Sauvignon Blanc and nearly passed out. When I regained my faculties, I was reminded of the following episode in which Jerry and George were trying to drug Jerry's girlfriend Celia so they could play with her toy collection:

Episode 162 - The Merv Griffin Show

GEORGE: More wine and turkey?
(Pours Celia more wine.)
JERRY: So when I saw George on the street with an 18 pound turkey and a giant box of wine, I thought: ... What a coincidence. We're just about to eat.
CELIA: What is that stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy?
JERRY and GEORGE: Tryptophan.
JERRY: ... I think. Have some more wine.
CELIA: What video did you get?
JERRY: Oh, George brought home movies of his boyhood trip to Michigan.
GEORGE: Four hours.
JERRY: More heavy gravy?

(Celia is sleeping.)
