If you smell s'mores, don't be alarmed

Joey suggests Chandler and himself to bunk up, while guests are taking both of guys' rooms for a night. Chandler is not happy and as always can't help but comments:

- Oh, bunking up. If you smell s'mores, don't be alarmed.

What are those "s'mores"? There is no such thing in a dictionary.

    Well, was not hard to find an answer though).
    As wiki suggests http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S'more:

    "S'more" comes from shortening "some more" - a name for is a traditional nighttime campfire treat popular in the United States and Canada, consisting of a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker.

    Also 'bunking up' is a very folksy way of referring to sleeping in the same room, reminiscent of the days of institutional outdoors camps that most children back in the 70s and 80s went to, for the summer. The camp counselors stereotypically spoke, (and still did speak, when I was younger) in that folksy, artificially friendly way.

      I like that. It is like a professor of Japanese said "it is always clear when the guy learns his Japanese from his Japanese girlfriend. Women and men speak with a different manner, different words in our country." And here is the same. I would totally use this expression, and would not even sense that there are such a feel to it.

    S'mores are a snack made by toasting a marshmallow until it is melty, then sandwiching it with some chocolate between two squares of graham crackers. it's a traditional campfire snack associated with camping. Chandler makes the joke because of Joey saying "bunking up", which is a phrase associated with younger children or with camping in cabins with bunks. These are the two situations where there are usually bunks (bunk beds) involved; usually adults don't use bunkbeds unless camping.

s03e17 Chandler: No, Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow."

How is Chandler's reference to Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow" funny? Ross and Rachel just broke up. Rachel invites guys to a free event she has tickets to. They reject the invitation, because Ross had them reserved for that same night earlier. Rachel says that it's not a big deal and leaves. Everyone is upset especially Chandler. He lights up a cigarette even though he wasn't smoking for a year already. Someone knocks on a door and Chandler says: Chandler: That's great. With my luck, that's him. Phoebe:  Him? Ross? Chandler:  No, Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow." What is that with this hymn?
