The Day Jerry Seinfeld Poured Me Eight Glasses Of Beer At A Time

Give Up Your Day Job was Good Advice for Jerry Seinfeld

Wow, some people talk about flashbacks that they have from the 1960's. But thinking back to the 1970's and Jerry Seinfeld being your server is like a bad trip, even if you never tripped out. There were just so many crazies running loose in those days, that after a while the bizarrie almost seemed normal. All that streaking, students taking over my college to protest the war. It just wasn't easy being a square back in those days.

And at least in my case, just meeting my Mom for a goodbye lunch turned into the coming attractions of the Jerry Seinfeld show. Of course, I had no idea that our lunch server was Jerry Seinfeld. So, I didn't know what to make of his strange behavior. But, like I said, strange was pretty much the norm back in those days, so I just figured that Jerry Seinfeld was searching to find himself or something, like tens of millions of other people back in those days.

I always knew who I was and exactly what I wanted out of life, and my attitude obviously conflicted with Jerry Seinfelds state of mind. I was going away to the navy and I just wanted to have a goodbye burger and beer with my mom. I always liked to have my beer in a mug. And I had nicely explained to Jerry Seinfeld, that it's not good to drink beer out of a glass because you get more air and that will throw off your balance. But Jerry Seinfelds response was to pour an entire pitcher of beer into eight glasses he placed on my table.

I just asumed that the poor guy had some kind of mental breakdown or something. I figured maybe his cat ran away, or he was double parked for two weeks with a stackful of tickets or something. But, my mom was convinced that he was mentally challenged and decided to leave him double the tip she normally would leave.

I guess in hindsight, that Jerry Seinfeld may have been eperimenting with us. But it just goes to show that America still is and always will be the land of opportunity. Where else could someone serve you lunch, and then soon after have their own TV show?

Anyway, I made a youtube video about my strange lunch experience with Jerry Seinfeld, but the volume is kind of low, so it might be best to turn it higher. Someday, I may re-do all my videos. I'm getting a little more comfortable with this media lately, but till I did some online karaoke, I really didn't know what sound levels to use. Plus despite the fact that I waa born in Brooklyn, I picked up a very strong Canadian accent from the people that lived next door that were from Newfoundland. Strangley enough everyone in Vavcouver Canada thinks that I'm from there, and can understand me perfectly. Maybe Jerry Seinfeld should do a script about me in his next production. That might get some laughs.

I should warn you that someone commented on my video, that after watching it for a few minutes, they wanted to blow their brains out. Well, as they say, "you can't please all the people all of the time."
