I Was Distracted

Kramer takes his blood out of the blood bank. This leads to a whole series of unfunny bits. Jerry ends up with a transfusion of the blood because he has his throat cut. The blood ends up in a car radiator. George begins to have issues with sex where he has to eat while doing it. The whole thing is so ludicrous. Elaine ends up babysitting a little psychopath. Kramer and Newman make sausages in Jerry's apartment. Jerry ends up being given a personal trainer by his parents because they think he is out of shape. It turns out to be the guy played by Lloyd Bridges who almost died lifting weights in another episode. Things fade a bit here. Without the blood thing it would have been better.
