I thought this was funny, but I have an odd sence of humor.

Over break, I went back to Colorado and went snowboarding in Telluride. The Gondola is faster than the lifts, but it also gets filled with dumb yuppies, especially around the holidays. This one was no diffrent. This really, and I mean really greasy yuppie and a couple of his family members, including a little girl who could walk, but couldnt talk yet. About halfway up, a woman asks the yuppie what his daughter's name is.
"Eleven" There is a moment of silence.
"Thats her name? Eleven?" The woman finally manages to say.
"Yes" They couldnt be prouder. Now, this is just too much for me. I chuckle (not rudely)and say, "Thats like on Seinfeld. George wants to name his kid Seven, after Mickey Mantle." The non-yuppies laugh. The father of Eleven scoffs, you know, the real throaty "I-art-holier-than-thou" type. Apperently I had offended him by comaprring him to a show watched by the commoner :rolleyes: I thought it was funny.
Anyway, the girl endend up being named Eleven becuase, "On a scale of 1-10, she's an eleven" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

For some reason, I remembered that last night, and since DC had such a great story to tell..... :p

oh it's got cache baby, it's got cache out the ying-yang

"How about naming the kid 'Mickey'?"

That is hilarious. You could have really rankled the yuppie couple by asking if they really loved the "7-11" stores.

JERRY: Seven? Yeah, I guess I could see it. Seven. Seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating, and eventually seven-years-to-life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.

GEORGE: (adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come up with a better name than Seven.

Jerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.

JERRY: Awright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks up the mug) Mug Costanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or uh, Ketchup?

Pretty name for a girl.

GEORGE: Alright, you having a good time there?

Jerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over the array of good within.

JERRY: I got fifty right here in the cupboard. How about Bisquik? Pimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.

GEORGE: (shouts) Alright already!! This is a very key issue with me, Jerry. I had this name for a long time.

Now my question is how is she going to sign her name

1. Eleven
2. 11
or even
3. XI

DSC, that's hilarious! Good for you that you told 'em.

Thanks for sharing that - I love when Seinfeld connects to "real life," and it usually does for nearly any situation.

Just a couple of days ago, I was in the Band room at school, and two kids were play fighting with each other, and two others were standing nearby and laughing about it. I teased them about just standing there and not doing anything, and eventually, I had to tell them about the "Good Samaritan law" in the two-parter final episode - neither of them knew of it, but they found the description funny.
