I’m watching the Friends’ episode, The One with Rachel’s Other Sister. I immediately thought of Pangs.
Rachel: “Um look I was thinking.. If its ok with Monica I would like to invite Amy to Thanksgiving.”
Ross: “You know, I think thats a great idea. It’ll be like the pilgrims bringing the Indians syphilis.”
