George isn't about to let a historic shipwreck stand between him and an upgraded apartment. After the tenant association gives Mr. Eldridge the edge because of his harrowing survival story, George argues that one catastrophic event can't possibly compete with three decades of continuous humiliation.
To prove his point, George presents the board with highlights from his spectacularly unfortunate life—from shrinkage and the marble rye fiasco to being handcuffed to a bed and the tragic fate of Susan. In George's mind, surviving one disaster is impressive, but living as George Costanza every single day should count for something.
