Who was George?


Most who watched Seitokai Yakuindomo probably remember the story of George,
the heroic sailor who jumped off his ship in the middle of a storm to rescue a
drowning cat. His story was heartwarming and fantastic, but also a bit bizarre
since the character didn't appear anywhere prior.

Is George or his story a reference to anything? Or was this just a crazy story
that wasn't making any particular reference?
