It was the 20th episode of the eighth season and aired on May 1, 1997. PlotThe Job OfferAfter being recruited by the New York Mets to be their head scout, George is told that they can only hire him if he gets fired from the New York Yankees. However, his more and more dramatic efforts to get fired only end up making him look better. He wears Babe Ruth's uniform and deliberately gets food stains all over it, but Mr. Steinbrenner praises him, thinking it supports an "out with the old, in with the new" mentality. George then appears to streak through Yankee Stadium during a game, but he's actually wearing a flesh-colored body suit that makes him popular with the fans. Finally, he destroys a Yankees' World Series trophy by hitching it to his Buick Regal and driving through the parking lot while screaming insults to the ball club with a megaphone. This finally brings the ire of Steinbrenner, before Mr. Wilhelm appears, takes credit for supposedly telling George what to do, gets fired and then takes the job with the Mets. PutumayoElaine tries to run an ethnic-themed clothes store called Putumayo out of business after receiving bad customer service. First, she tries shopping at a competing store, Cinco de Mayo, but discovers that the same woman from Putumayo owns both stores. Later, she tries to get Kramer, under an alter ego named H. E. Pennypacker, to change the price tags on the labels, but he accidentally destroys the pricing gun before he can finish. Instead, he tries to take the desiccant packs from the clothes as Plan B, so he only manages to ruin the clothing in about 5 years, making Elaine more distressed and presumably gives up. Kramer then eats some free chips the store gives out to its customers and unknowingly drops one of the desiccant packs in the salsa dip. Speed DialMeanwhile, Jerry gets caught in a war over speed dial rankings between his girlfriend, Valerie, and her domineering stepmom, who eventually hides Jerry's number in one of her emergency speed dials. Later, she's poisoned by eating desiccant from Putumayo's clothes that Kramer spilled into a bowl of salsa at the store. When Valerie tries calling poison control, she ends up calling him instead, to which Jerry replies, "Wow! Poison control? That's even higher than number one!" Valerie is disgusted at this and hangs up on Jerry. To The "Newmannium"Finally, Kramer and Newman learn that they're each planning rival millennium parties, both on December 31, 1999 (Newman's party is called the "Newmannium"). Eventually, they agree to combine them into one party on the insistence of Newman that they not invite Jerry. However, Newman lets Jerry come in exchange for Elaine's presence, after she'd committed to Kramer's party. In the end, Jerry tells Newman that he made his reservation one year late, as he booked it for "the Millennium new year", 2001, which means that his party would be on December 31, 2000, since there was no year 0. Newman squawks with frustration and leaves. External links
