George Costanza is many issues: a liar, a New York Yankee, a boyfriend courting means above his league. Oh, and he’s additionally a public urinator.
Within the Season Three episode “The Parking Storage,” each Jerry and George get nabbed by safety for relieving themselves behind parked automobiles. Jerry’s bogus protection — claiming that he’s affected by “uromysitisis poisoning” — doesn’t fly.
As we’ve talked about earlier than, Seinfeld was barely forward of the curve with this storyline, arguably anticipating the current discourse surrounding public urination and America’s lack of public rest room accessibility. Now, the present’s different piss-based storyline has turn into considerably related due to a current information story. And, considerably surprisingly, consultants have sided with George Costanza on a problem involving private hygiene.
Do not Miss
Within the Season 5 episode “The Spouse,” George faces expulsion from his well being membership after Elaine’s crush catches him peeing within the bathe. Elaine and Jerry are grossed out by George’s conduct, shaming him for not merely holding it in.
However CNN lately revealed an article wherein a number of urologists state that there’s nothing unsuitable with peeing within the bathe, aka the Costanza Methodology. “There’s no draw back, and it’s simply handy for some individuals,” Dr. Karyn Eilber, a professor of urology at Cedars-Sinai in L.A., informed the information outlet. In the meantime Dr. David Shusterman, a “urologist and chief doctor at Fashionable Urologist in New York Metropolis” said that “opposite to claims of urinating within the bathe being unhealthy, I feel it’s truly wholesome.”
Jerry particularly means that George is within the unsuitable as a result of it’s unhygienic to be “standing in a pool of another person’s urine.” However that wouldn’t be an issue for the reason that operating water merely washes the pee away. And there are different, greater considerations to worry about in public showers. “I wouldn’t fear about getting an an infection from somebody urinating in public bathing areas as a lot as any mould or fungus you’re stepping in,” Dr. Eilber defined.
Elaine particularly takes subject with George placing pee down the bathe drain. “Since when is a drain a rest room?” she asks him, including that “completely different pipes go to completely different locations, you’re going to combine them up!” However this doesn’t actually make any sense both. It’s not like your bathe drain is being piped instantly into your ingesting water, it results in the sewer. In reality, the drain pipes for the bathe are “tied collectively earlier than they even go away your home,” probably even earlier than they go away the toilet.
So add this to the rising checklist of cases when George Costanza was completely in the precise, I assume. Will medical science ever vindicate the time that George knocked an aged lady and a number of other kids to the bottom whereas fleeing a home hearth? We’ll simply have to attend and see.
