What else do you think George said? Keep it limited to events occurring before this episode. "My father created a holiday called Festivus, which involved an aluminum pole, airing of grievances,...and feats of strength." This was told the following season, but it still took place in the past, so it counts. "Her dying word was my ATM code."

[@tylerdrechsel8840]

4:44 I honestly don't think that George held back that bit for dramatic effect. I think he legitimately forgot that happened since that incident didn't really affect him emotionally and he only said it because he realized it would tug on the heart strings of the board last minute.
