My favorite episode of “Seinfeld” aired on TBS recently. It's the one where Jerry, George and Elaine are stuck in an interminable wait for a table at a Chinese restaurant.

The gang wanted a table at a Chinese restaurant with no reservations before going to see “Plan 9 from Outer Space.” What they got was a maître d' continually assuring them in broken English that they’ll get a table in, “five, 10 minutes.”
