What did he tell people was the real reason she left him at the altar? > > Why were Ross and Carol asked to never return to the Magic Kingdom? 1. Barry Finkel (in the first episode, later he was referred to as Barry Farber) . She left him because she didn’t love him. He told everyone that she went insane from syphillis. 2. Because they had sex in the “It’s a Small World” ride. Here’s a good one, in the first episode, what was Monica’s apt. number? ---

\*\*Here’s a good one, in the first episode, what was Monica’s apt. number?\*\*In the first few episodes, it was 5, but was changed to 20 after TPTB decided that the outside shot showed it was on an uppper floor and needed to be a higher numbered apartment. ---

**What “wedding expense” did Ross tell Emily’s parents would make his parents laugh in his face?** The wine cellar. **Name two instances Joey has worn another Friend’s pants and why.** One was _TOW No One’s Ready_ and he goes and puts on all of Chandler’s clothes because they were fighting over the chair. (“Look at me, I’m Chandler! Could I _ **be** _ wearing any more clothes?”) He also wore Chandler’s clothes in a Halloween episode where Phoebe met her sister’s fiance (played by Sean Penn) and he (Joey) came dressed as Chandler, in corduroys and a sweater vest. **Why is Ross a medical marvel?** They thought Mrs. Bing couldn’t have children. ---

Ding ding ding **Biblio**! Got it in one! Care to try for the other two? And no one has answered what Phoebe’s real mom’s occupation was, and what was wrong with the item she was trying to sell. And what flowers did Monica want at her wedding? ---

Phoebe’s real mom was a real estate agent and the house she was trying to sell had like 3 bedrooms and no bathrooms. Easy ones, I’m sure, but: What rumor did Will and Ross make up about Rachel? Which Friend who didn’t attend Lincoln High heard about it? What rumor did Rachel make up about Ross? Was it true? When Carol, Susan and Ross were trying to decide on baby names, what had the three of them decided on (not Ben; this was before he was born)? What did Susan and Carol change it to, without telling Ross, and why? ---

Easy ones, I’m sure, but: > [@](#): > > What rumor did Will and Ross make up about Rachel? Which Friend who didn’t attend Lincoln High heard about it? What rumor did Rachel make up about Ross? Was it true? That Rachel had a penis. I think Chandler heard about it.

What did Susan and Carol change it to, without telling Ross, and why? I don’t remember what they decided on, but I think Susan and Carol changed it to Minnie. ---

I think the answer you’re looking for is “Jordy.” They had all agreed on “Jamie,” but that was the name of Susan’s last girlfriend. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > What convinced Joey could make him a better actor? Having an extremely full bladder? Does anyone have a cite for the number of sexual partners each Friend has had over the 10 year run? I’m guessing Joey and Ross are 1-2 in that department, followed by Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler in that order. ---

He was trying to sell his tv cabinet and was bragging that a person could actually fit inside it. He proved it by getting in–and the perspective buyer locked him in with a hockey stick and robbed him. > [@](#): > > How did Monica get her father’s Porsche? Her keepsakes, etc that were stored in the Gellars’ basement were ruined by water damage. She started crying because she always knew that her parents loved Ross more and her father tried to make it up to her by giving her the porsche. And **Jennyrosity** , I don’t think anyone has answered your drank the fat question, so I’ll give it a go. Chandler and Joey drink it but Ross is stopped by Rachel just before he does, so it’s two. Or two and half if you want to count Ross’s almost-drink.
