re: Who was Jerry closer to friendship wise? George or Elaine?

quote:

Elaine tried to abandon the friendship more than once. Most notably with the bizarro friends.

But George wanted to go with her ("We've already got a George").

Anyway, George is obviously the correct answer. They grew up together; even went to college together.

But there is a line from an episode that always bothered me. The episode where George and Mike ("Man, that Michael Jordan is so phony!") fight over the same parking space in front of Jerry's apartment. They mention that they both know Jerry, and George says he knows him "probably a lot better" than Mike does. How could that have even been in question, since Jerry and George were best friends since high school?
