Monkey Brain

With all this talk about Yemen, am I the only one who keeps flashing back to that episode of Friends (“The One with All the Rugby”) when Chandler couldn’t break up with Janice and so he told her that he was moving to Yemen, and I was all, Wha-men? Here’s some sample dialogue:

Chandler: That's right, yes. I'm being transferred to Yemen.
Janice: When?
Chandler: I don't know exactly.
Janice: Well, I will just have to soak up every ounce of Chandler Bing until that moment comes!
Chandler: But I do know it's sometime tomorrow!

Chandler: I'm only pretend-moving to Yemen, okay? It's the only way I can get rid of her
Joey: Oh, good one! And "Yemen," that actually sounds like a real country!

Oh Friends, I miss you.
