10 Things the show Friends taught me about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

I love things that I can relate to, don't you? An iconic TV show, Friends made us laugh, laugh harder, and laugh so hard we cried.





But here's ten things it taught me too.





10. Beef sauteed with peas and onions does not under any circumstances go in an English trifle. Only lady fingers, jam, custard, bananas, and some whipped cream.

9. Condoms are only 97% effective


8. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Other people just wreck stuff.


7. How to make "jam crackers" and "peanut butter fingers"


6. In a silent auction, you don't guess you buy


5. Don't count Mississippily when getting a spray tan


4. When attempting to eat a lot, you have to warm up your stomach first. Eating chips is like stretching.


3. Don't use a green marker to fill in your eyebrows, instead use a combination of ice, aloe vera, and a friend's gentle self loathing touch.


2. The camera adds ten pounds



1. And the number one thing that Friends taught me about life is that we were on a break is never a valid excuse to sleep with someone else.
