[Friends Season 1-7]
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, time has passed. The five are sitting around the coffee table talking.]

Rachel: Alright, somebody.

Monica: OK, I'll go. OK, senior year of college... on a pool table.

All: Whoooaa!

Ross: That's my sister.

Joey: OK... my weirdest place would have to be...the women's room on the second floor of the New York CIty public library.

Monica: Oh my God! What were you doing in a library?

Ross: Pheebs, what about you?

Phoebe: Oh... Milwaukee.

Rachel: Um... Ross?

Ross: Disneyland, 1989, 'It's a Small World After All.'

All: No way!

1. Are they talking about the weirdest place in where they had sex?
2. What's so weird about having sex in Milwaukee?
---------------------------------------------------------
Monica: The fuzzy little mints at the bottom of her purse.

Ross: Oh! ...Yeah, they were gross.....

3. fuzzy little mints, sweets or coins ?

Thanks a lot to Teachers!

1. Yes.

2. Nothing. The line is funny because only Phoebe would come up with an answer like that. She's always a little off (her brain works differently from everyone else's).

3. They are mints that have been there so long that they are covered in lint and dirt (whatever collects at the bottom of a purse over time).

Mints are little candies, not coins. Coins are minted (made) at mints, however.
