What does the phrase 'stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance' mean? Chandler needs new pants made and asks friends for a contact of a good tailor. Joey raises a hand - yep, he has a tailor. Chandler feels all set. But Joey starts to share way too much of boring detail. Joey : He did my first suit when I was 15... No, wait, 16... No, excuse me, 15... All right, when was 1990?

ReplyDeleteThat does make a lot more sense. But giving the fact that Chandler is a very nice guy after all. I suppose his way out would've been to shoot himself. Don't you think?
DeleteThat's funny, I always assumed he wanted it to shoot himself, not her. :3
