Seinfeld also did a routing something like "the cab driver's name was
Akhmal followed by the chemical symbol for boron. I'm pretty sure it
wasn't manganese."
And as a scientist, I have to say that this demonstrates Seinfeld's
stupidity. Chemical symbols are written in plain latters, e.g. B for boron
and Mn for manganese.
