excerpt from “brothers in arms.” written by mark knopfler.
a cedar falls man who repeated a gag from the “seinfeld” show while at work has been fired for sexual harassment. it’s the second case of an iowan being fired for harassment stemming from an episode of the popular comedy series.
not sure which is better: the fact that the guy got fired for using the “you are so good looking” line after a sneeze (although, to be truthful, the shoulder rub was a little unnecessary), or the fact that this is the second “seinfeld”-related firing in iowa. lighten up iowa. take the corn out of your hole.
in a 1992 wisconsin case, miller brewing co. fired an executive, jerold mackenzie, for an incident that stemmed from a “seinfeld” episode.
mackenzie told his secretary about a show in which a woman was described by the characters as having a name that rhymed with part of the female anatomy. the woman was named delores, and because mackenzie was too embarrassed to say what that rhymed with, he showed her the word in a dictionary.
after he was fired for sexual harassment, mackenzie sued miller brewing co. and his former secretary. the jury didn’t believe the secretary felt harassed, awarding mackenzie $1.5 million in damages, plus $25 million for unrelated claims.
and how great is this guy’s life? jerold mckenzie goes around cracking seinfeld jokes and gets $26.5 million in return. every time i eat a pretzel, i say, “these PRETZELS are making me thirsty!” yet, nobody sends any cash my way. what’s the deal with that?
“she’d been home a few times, holidays mainly, but never knocked on my front door. in almost two years since she first left, we never spoke. sometimes, i wished i’d never said anything. other times, i hoped i’d said it differently. almost always i reached the conclusion that whatever i did, it wouldn’t have been enough. but I waited anyway.”
