in ep 420 (TOWAT wedding Dresses) I just noticed that under the Magna Doodle theres a sign that says "Five Card Charlie Says: No" at least thats what I think it says, my copy isn't exactly crystal clear anymore. So my question is what does it mean?

Actually, it's "Five Card Charlie Pays 2:1." A five-card charlie is a blackjack hand that totals 21 or less with five cards. J&C probably would've found it at a second-hand store or something (not likely they'd actually swipe it from a casino!).

Thanks, some things in Friends is just too american for me to understand right away. I've later noticed that the sign isnt only in ep 420 (as the rest of you probably have noticed a long time ago) but it struck me as weird that Ive never seen the sign before, specially in that episode since its right beneath the "Get Out!" message of the Magna Doodle.

Actually, looking at the DVD between 10:31 & 10:42, the sign says...

                         FIVE CARD
                          CHARLIE
                            PAYS
                           5 TO 1

..which is more like the odds you would get in a casino.
