Storyline

Chandler has news: his boss offered him a promotion to data processing coordinator. So Chandler resigned! He has spent five years in what was meant to be a 'temporary' job and feels he is destined for something more meaningful than 'worrying about the 'weenus.' But he doesn't know what! After a full day of aptitude tests, Chandler is declared perfectly fit for data processing. He refuses to believe it, but his boss keeps making better and better offers. A massage client of Phoebe's is opening a restaurant, just the kind Monica would like to run, so she sets up a demonstration to impress the boss, Steve. Alas he arrives under the influence of weed, which makes him a voracious, infantile omnivore. Meanwhile Ross has a promising date with the museum's Insects curator and introduces her to his monkey Marcel.

Hats Off To Matt Le Blanc And David Schwimmer

Not as good as the last episode but it still has some laugh out loud moments featuring Joey attempting to teach Ross how to talk dirty.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ross is horrified when his date asks him to talk dirty to her, Chandler is equally horrified when he is offered a big promotion at the office job he took as "a temporary thing" five years ago, so he quits. Meanwhile things are looking up for Monica as a client of Pheobe's is looking to open a new restaurant and she is in line for the head chef job.

Matthew Perry is always reliable as Chandler so him doing well is no surprise, but hats must go off to Matt Le Blanc and David Schwimmer who steal this episode
