Today's post was inspired by my wife, who was trying to think of an excuse so we wouldn't have to attend a Christmas party we were invited to. I won't give up any details, but the excuse she came up with rivaled anything that George Castanza could have come up with! It made me think of the following exchange, where Jerry is trying to beat a lie detector test.
Episode 102 - The Beard
Jerry: I don't know. Maybe I can beat the machine.
Elaine: Oh, who do you think you are? Castanza?
Jerry: Hey you know what? I have access to one of the most deceitful, duplicitous, deceptive minds of our time. Who better to advise me?
followed by this exchange:
Jerry: So George, how do I beat this lie detector?
George: I'm sorry, Jerry I can't help you.
Jerry: Come on, you've got the gift. You're the only one that can help me.
George: Jerry, I can't. It's like saying to Pavorotti, "Teach me to sing like you."
Jerry: All right, well I've got to go take this test. I can't believe I'm doing this.
George: Jerry, just remember. It's not a lie... if you believe it.
