Rachel: So now, do you guys have big plans? Frank Jr: Ya, I was thinking maybe go down to Times Square and pick up some Ninja Stars. Oh, and my friend Larry, he wants me to take a picture of a hooker. Chandler ( to Joey): You know, we don't really take advantage of living in the city.                                    ~ --------------- ~ When the comforts of the regularity hit you, you start to find even the mundane office place, work route, shopping groceries, the coffee place nearby your house and mostly your bed as the comfiest space.
