In other denim related history:
George, Elaine and Jerry attend Dr. Tim Whatley’s Hanukkah party where each receive a card notifying him that a donation has been made by Whatley to “The Children’s Alliance” in his name. (Elaine is surprised Tim is still Jewish, but Jerry points out it’s a breeze to keep the faith when you don’t have Jewish parents.) Jerry meets an attractive woman with whom he plans a date. Elaine meets a man in a bad denim vest (Kevin McDonald) and gives him her fake number. George is offended by Whatley’s gift to him, a donation in his name to a charity. George is also reminded of the Festivus holiday his father created many years ago. Elaine’s quest to become a “Submarine Captain” at a local shop in order to get a free submarine sandwich and a captain’s hat is crushed when she realizes she used her punch card at the party to give her fake number to the denim vested guy. Kramer gets word he can return to his job at H&H Bagels; it seems he has been on strike for the past 12 years but, because the new minimum wage is the amount the workers demanded, the strike is over. Elaine goes to the place that her fake number reaches: an off-track betting parlor. She wanted to give them her real number, so when the denim vest guy calls, she can connect with him. But, the creepy men at the parlor are interested in connecting with her, so she gives the number for H&H where Kramer is working. Jerry meets his date, Gwen, at a party, but it turns out she is two-faced: Sometimes she looks great but other times she’s plain; it all depends on the viewer’s angle and the lighting. George decides to use the Whatley approach when giving out Christmas gifts at Kruger Industrial Smoothing; however, he makes up his own charity called the “The Human Fund.” Kramer is intrigued by the concept of the Festivus holiday and contacts Frank, who becomes excited at the prospect of rekindling “Festivus for the rest-of-us.” Kramer asks to get the 23rd of December off work; when he can’t get it, he resumes the strike. Meanwhile Elaine waits at H&H for a phone call from the denim-vest guy. The look of Jerry’s girlfriend keeps changing.
