Summary: He pointed at his head. "This ain't filled with sawdust, you know!"

The sight of Joey lounging on the sofa at Central Perk threw Chandler for a loop.

"I thought you said that Estelle lined up an audition for you for this afternoon," he pointed out, sitting beside Joey.

"Yeah," Joey replied around a wide yawn. "But I'm just in one of those indolent moods. What's the matter," he asked, noticing his friend's taken-aback gawking.

Chandler shook his head. "It's nothing. It's just...indolent? Coming from you, that's a pretty big word."

"Hey! It's not like I don't know stuff! You think I'm just another pretty face," Joey accused. He pointed at his head. "This ain't filled with sawdust, you know!"

"You're right; I'm sorry. I was out of line," Chandler mollifyingly stated. "I was thrown off by the memory of that time that we went to an antique store with Monica, and we saw a Kodak Brownie. And you thought that it was a magic camera that took edible photographs."

For a long moment, Joey stared at him, looking baffled and frustrated. At last, he pointed in Chandler's face.

"That was a really dumb name for a camera," he protested. "Anybody could make that mistake!"
