I've noticed when Morty talks about when he was in the raincoat
business... the number of years always varies. I've seen 3 different
episodes lately where he says 35, 38, and 40. Anyone else notice this?

How far apart, in years, were the episodes? :-)

Poor Morty. He needs new glasses.

Good riddance.

It shouldn't matter. Morty 'was' in the raincoat business. He wasn't
anymore.

His quotes were something like:

"I sold raincoats for 35 years."
"I sold raincoats for 38 years."
"I was in the garment industry for 40 years."

True, that makes a difference. Here are the quotes....

[The Money]
MORTY: Well, I sold raincoats in the garment centre for thirty-eight
years. In nineteen forty-nine...

[The Money]
MORTY: Morty Seinfeld. I cut velvet for forty years with Harry Altman.

[The Watch]
MORTY: Don't tell me about business! I sold raincoats for thirty-five
years!

Ahhh, there we go. Sorry about mixing up the quotes, but thanks for
posting the correct ones.

Yup, and the episode with him teaming with Kramer to try and sell them
is one of my favorites.

Nope, in The Money he does say "Altman". Remember he says "he cut
velvet" not "sell raincoats".

From The Raincoats...

MORTY: This is some building, Harry Fleming used to have an office
here. There was a deli on the first floor. You don't get corned beef
like that anymore. What happened to that deli?
