The title story of this episode is pretty boring. Although the good part of it is the Smelly Cat litter commercial, this one turned out kind of funny

I did like the story about the girl with the artificial leg funny. I love the part where Joey tells how he accidentally burned it down and after that just ran through the woods with no socks on. Matt LeBlanc was just great at telling this story. And the ending is pretty good too. Chandler has overcome the fact that the leg was bothering him but who knew that he will be left for his nubbin? The irony!

And we have more development of the conflict between Rachel and Ross. David Schwimmer was very funny at the "Jurrasic Parka" part. And while Ross sure is unreasonable with his jealousy, Rachel is being pretty annoying. Couldn't she just laugh off that Ross fell asleep? Nah, she is too stuck up for it. And while I see what they were doing when she was saying how boring his job for her, I couldn't help but thinking: "Seriously? You are comparing spectacular historical evidence to fashion?" Puuuuhleeze

Leslie, Phoebe's ex-Partner, wants them to play together again, like the old times, but Phoebe refuses the invitation, since she is still angry with Leslie behavior. Leslie abandoned Phoebe to write jingles in the past, and only after a lot of persuasion, Phoebe accepts to be with Leslie again.

Chandler meets Ginger, a beautiful girl who has a mechanic leg and that once dated Joey.She hates Joey for what he did to her in the past. (Joey accidentally threw her artificial leg into the fire, thinking that it was wood. When he saw what he did, he ran away from her and she stayed alone in the camp)

Mark, Rachel's work friend, is going to a new job, for Ross' happiness. He stays jealous when he hears that Rachel is going to a lecture with Mark, and decides to go with her, but he sleeps of boredom.

Chandler removes his third nipple.

Ginger, she said it's alright if her prosthetic leg bothered Chandler but she's disgusted by Chandler's nubbin? Faker.

Phoebe's ex singing partner Leslie plays at Central Perk. Leslie left the duo and Phoebe is still mad but Leslie wants them to play together again. Ross is delighted to hear that Mark quit his job. Chandler meets Ginger and goes out with her. Joey used to date Ginger but accidentally threw her artificial leg into a fire and ran away. Phoebe and Leslie are back together playing music. Ross goes to a fashion seminar with Rachel so she won't go with Mark. They fight because Ross was so bored he fell asleep. Ross doesn't like that he is not involved in Rachel's "other" life with her work but Rachel loves having something on her own. Leslie sells "Smelly Cat" as a commercial jingle and Phoebe and Leslie break up once again. Ginger dumps Chandler because he has a third nipple. Chandler lets the third nipple be removed surgically.

Rachel was justified at being angry with Ross for falling asleep; he was the one who insisted on going with her, just so Mark wouldn't accompany her. I've never really approved of Rachel and Ross as a couple any way; Ross is far too whiny, insecure and unreasonable and considering Rachel finally found her niche in Bloomingdale's after putting her hated waitress job behind her, he should not put belittle her interest in her job or the fashion lecture. Not everyone's a dinosaur intellectual Ross! The plot about Phoebe and her ex partner was interesting. Anyone would be hurt if their singing partner left them to move on to something better but I imagine Phoebe was also angry because her partner was the better singer hence she got less appreciative fans after her departure. The leg burning was NOT funny and I can't believe Joey did such a thing to Ginger and thought at some level she would find it funny.

This episode is all part of the story arc that will build to Rachel and Ross splitting up, but there are some funny moments a long the way.

Lisa Kudrow is on great form here, playing the kooky side of Pheobe effortlessly, but it's also interesting to see her be wounded and doubtful about reforming her due with ex singing partner, Leslie.

The Joey/Chandler story line is OK, but there's no hiding the fact that Matthew Perry looks painfully thin and unwell.

This is a decent mid series episode from the third series of the show.
