George Costanza: [George rushes into Jerry's apartment] Did anybody call here asking for Vandelay Industries?
Jerry: No, what happened to you?
George Costanza: All right, listen closely, I was at the unemployment office and I told them I was very close to getting a job with Vandelay Industries, and I gave them your phone number. So now, when the phone rings, you have to answer “Vandelay Industries”.
Jerry: I’m Vandelay Industries?
George Costanza: Right.
Jerry: What is that?
George Costanza: You’re in latex.
Jerry: What do I do with latex?
George Costanza: I don’t know, you manufacture it.
Elaine: Right here in this little apartment?
Jerry: And what do I say about you?
George Costanza: You’re considering hiring me for your latex salesman.
Jerry: I’m gonna hire you as my latex salesman? I don’t think so. Why would I do that?
George Costanza: Because I asked you to.
Jerry: If you think I’m looking for someone to just sit at a desk, pushing papers around, you can forget it. I get enough headaches just trying to manufacture the stuff.

I was going to ask you if I could be one of your latex salespeople. This is classic. If you ever want to delve into uncharted but profitable new adventures I will hook you up with my brother who has about 10 businesses in Lousiana and is wanting me to expand them. Unfortunately none of them in latex. Come see me some time. Clif Ford, Literacy Action of Central Arkansas
