s01e01 Frannie: Oh, I hate you, I'm pushing my Aunt Roz through Parrot Jungle and you're having sex!

What is Parrot Jungle?

Monica is at work, but in her mind she is still thinking about last night with Paul the wine guy. Frannie, the colleague, enters and right away notices Monica's mental absence.


Monica: Hey Frannie, welcome back! How was Florida?

Frannie: You had sex, didn't you?

Monica: How do you do that?

Frannie: Oh, I hate you, I'm pushing my Aunt Roz through Parrot Jungle and you're having sex!


What is Parrot Jungle?

Parrot Jungle is a tourist attraction in Florida near Miami. It grew out of a small feed store for birds, where the owner Franz Scherr, held a few parrots on display.

To take a picture with five parrots at once was considered as a big postcard-like opportunity for tourists in Florida. You barely would miss it, even if you are a figure of high importance, like Churchill. Yes, he big British guy has also got that parrot picture!

Parrot Jungle's path was meant to be built as a winding nature trail, like one in IKEA, in order for you to feel a bit disoriented while the birds are flying freely over your head. Because of that Frannie must have had some real trouble 'pushing' her aunt, who I imagine for some reason being on a wheelchair, through the attraction. 

If there is a desire to visit Parrot Jungle sparked inside you, the attraction exists to this day. But you got to search for Jungle Island now. It got not only renamed in 2007, but also moved to a waterfront to formerly called Watson Island. You can even go to waterpark there! Hope there are no birds there.

Chandler: You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance!

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? Chandler :  You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance! What is Q-Tip? What is the whole "You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance" expression is referring to?  Apparently the joke was among few that Matthew Perry, the actor who played Chandler has improvised on the set. Also that is the joke some websites say that Matthew is the most proud of. So let's try and get it! Q-Tip is a cotton swabs brand name. You know the ones you use to clean your ears after a bath. Q here stands of "Quality". Americans say "Q-tip" but often mean not a particular...
