Who is slippery pete

Kramer, you block off traffic. You two, go sweep-talk the pharmacist. Slippery Pete : You owe me a quarter. George Costanza : Slippery Pete. Kramer, hurry up! Cosmo Kramer : [as he unwinds the police tape, only one lane long] Ahh!

I'm out! No tape left! Jerry Seinfeld : Come on, George, I'll help you push it across. George Costanza : Wait a minute. This looks familiar.

This reminds me of something. I can do this. Jerry Seinfeld : By yourself? George Costanza : Jerry, I've been preparing for this moment my entire life. Slippery Pete : Well, I need a battery for this kind of a job. Can I at least steal a battery? George Costanza : Fine.

Steal the battery. Now, all right, here is the Frogger. This is the front door, and this is the outlet. Slippery Pete : What's that? George Costanza : The outlet? Slippery Pete : Mm-hmm. George Costanza : That's where the electricity comes out.

Slippery Pete : Oh, you mean the holes. Slippery Pete : You owe me a quarter! Slippery Pete : That was my mail-order bride. Cosmo Kramer : And you weren't home, so I signed for her. The following year, he couldn't get on a plane. Qantas flight attendants refused him permission to board a plane in Darwin, claiming his behaviour wasn't acceptable. It was all down to dental medication, a couple of drinks and ''a flight attendant's bad day'', he later explained to the Sunshine Coast Daily, which has compiled an amusing file of stories on Mr Slipper's varied adventures.

The Sunshine Coast Daily earlier this year was the recipient of a photograph that was to make Slipper nationally famous. The picture showed him, ahem, resting his eyes during a speech in the House of Representatives by the visiting President of Indonesia.

He swore he wasn't asleep, though the image suggested otherwise, but it was the identity of the photographer that elevated the matter to high farce. Somlyay's electorate is next door to Slipper's, and relations between the two are said to be about as warm as the legendary Hatfields and McCoys.

Somlyay, of course, was the subject of the Labor Party's attentions for the deputy speakership before he was forced by fellow Liberals to can the idea. Political watchers can hardly wait for Slipper to take the chair and enforce the rules of the House. Old-timers remember Slipper's past efforts to change the words he had spoken in parliament in the Hansard record. Way back in March, , he was bitterly critical of a decision by the Hawke government to increase aid to the Philippines.

It was, he told the parliament, ''to the detriment of the Australian taxpayer''. Later he apparently thought better of this rush of blood to the head and persuaded Hansard to expunge the words. When it was revealed that a tape-recording indeed had him saying these precise words and the Labor Party tried to have him investigated by the privileges committee for contempt, he swiftly asked that Hansard correct the record.
