Seinfeld's link to Bernie Madoff

The following is a somewhat depressing account of the effect of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme on a few of its victims.

One revelation in the article was the following statement:

"Ms. Schwartz, a professional organizer (of closets, not workers), had arranged to meet at the courthouse a new friend, Bennett Goldworth."

And here I thought the job of closet organizer was just something they made up on Seinfeld:

Episode 50 - The Virgin

Jerry with Marla, who is measuring his closet space.

Marla: Let me tell you what I think.
Jerry: Please, and be brutal. I have no closet sensitivity.
Marla: Are you very fussy about your pants?
Jerry: I don't think I am.
Marla: Because I have a very radical idea. Can you handle it?
Jerry: Try me.
Marla: Here's what I'm proposing. We eliminate all this. The hangers, the bar, the shelves. And in its place install a series of hooks. We'll put everything on hooks.
Jerry: Everything?
Marla: Everything. The shirts, pants, sport jackets, pajamas. We could get eighty hooks on here.
Jerry: You're quite mad, you know.

The Ultimate Sundae

I don't know what possessed me to do this in subfeezing weather, but on Saturday I had a craving for an ice cream sundae. So I got a delicious white turtle sundae with butter pecan ice cream and while I'm wolfing it down, I couldn't help think about the folowing insightful observations by Jerry:

Episode 52 - The Airport

Tia: This is the best sundae I've ever had.
Jerry: Oh, man. You know what... they got the fudge on the bottom-- y'see? That enables you to control your fudge distribution as you're eatin' your ice cream.
Tia: I've never met a man who knew so much about nothing.
Jerry: Thank you...
