The Soup Nazi's strict ordering procedure

As you walk in the place, move immediately to your right.
Hold out your money, speak your soup in a loud clear voice.
Step to the left and receive soup.
Keep the line moving.
Don't embellish on your order. 
No extraneous comments, no questions, no compliments.

If you don't order correctly, he yells and you don't get your soup.



Encounters with J. Peterman and his catalog

~Elaine Benes Jacket 
Very soft. Huge button flaps; cargo pockets; drawstring waist and deep by-swing cents in the back. Perfect for jumping into a dumper.

Sophisticated yet different without making a huge fuss about it.
Rich, dark-brown calfskin leather; matching linen vamp.
Men's whole and half sizes; 7 through 13.
Price: $135.

~ Elaine Benes shirt
Innocent-looking shirt has something which isn't innocent at all: touch-ability.
Heavy, silky Italian cotton; a fine, almost terry cloth-like feeling.
Five button placket; relaxed fit; innocence and mayhem at once.

~ Classic Horseman's Duster
Beige corduroy collar; 100% cotton canvas; high waist.
Nine pockets, six on the outside.
Great for running alongside a train; waving last goodbyes; posing on a veranda.
Mens sizes: small, medium, large...

~  Pamplona Beret was discovered at the Guangia River Market.
Sizes seven and a half through eight and three quarters.
Price: $35.

~ Discovered an unusual corduroy in Burma

~ The Rogue's Wallet
It's where he kept his card, his dirty little secret.



Kramer recites poetry to Pam

It's human to be moved by a fragrance.
Her bouquet cleaved his hardened shell,
And fondled his muscled heart.
He imbibed her glistening spell,
Just before the other shoe fell.

Written by an unknown 20th century poet, Newman.
