Goofs

Elaine goes to see one of the Three Tenors singing. She refers to him as "The Other Guy" (aside from Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, therefore being Jose Carreras), for she cannot remember his name. She buys a poster for the Maestro to get it signed by "The Other Guy". Once he signs it, she cannot understand the handwriting and keeps calling him funny names. However, when she spills the sauce over the poster, we can clearly see the beginning of the name "Carreras" on top of it. It is very unlikely that she has not read the names on the poster (and equally strange that a poster announcing the concert does not have the names of the tenors).
