Chandler: How come I'm stuck dicing when he gets to ball a melon?

Ross has refused to help Monica prepare food for the wedding of his former wife and her partner's wedding. But Monica is running late and pressures Ross and gets him to join everyboby in the kitchen.

Monica: All right, ball a melon!
Chandler: How come I'm stuck dicing when he gets to ball a melon?

After what sure enough audience laughs. Saying his line Chandler pauses and stresses the "melon" word out. Ross gives him a look of "what? why do you need to put it this way" sort. What was chndler inplying? Help.

    Hi there! Your project is so cool and I mean it!
    Considering this episode, I think “balling the melon” means some kind of sexual activity, check this out http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Melon+Balling
    And this is really from jerking off to having sex with a cantaloupe.
    Ugh!!!

    Anna, thank you! I should have thought about it. Sure it does sound sexual to me when you pointed it out)

    I actually never thought there was any sexual implication behind this joke, though I could see how it could be given a sexual connotation (especially given Anna's link - ha!).

    My interpretation of this moment has always been that Chandler, for the sake of being funny, is just trying to stir up trouble by bemoaning his task of dicing as somehow being "worse" or "not as fun" as balling a melon, but they are really equally mundane kitchen chores.

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?
