<P> He also worked at the restaurant "Alessandro's" where Monica was head chef, nicknaming himself "Dragon" while on the job . Monica hired him just so she could fire him to intimidate the other employees who paid Monica no respect, but he made a lot of tips and backed out of the deal, only to realize how important his getting fired was to Monica . He then set himself up to be fired the next day . </P> <P> He spends one episode working with Chandler as an entry - level data processor . He treats the job like another acting role, in which he is "Joseph the Processing Guy" and creates a complex back - story for the character . Chandler begins to dislike the Joseph character when he starts showing up Chandler at work . Joey eventually leaves after Chandler pretends to sleep with Joey's "pretend wife". </P> <P> Prior to Monica and Chandler's wedding, when the two admitted that they were having trouble finding someone to perform the ceremony, Joey volunteered for the role, subsequently getting himself ordained over the Internet to entitle him to perform the marriage . He has apparently retained this role until Season Ten, when he performed the ceremony for Phoebe and Mike's wedding, claiming that priests are allowed to ride the subway for free (Although he states that the Bible must be read very carefully to identify the passage that permits this). </P> <P> Joey is characterized as a simple - minded but good - natured womanizer who loves food . He particularly loves meatball sub sandwiches . When asked if he would give up sex or food he had trouble deciding and kept blurting out sex or food, eventually yelling "I want girls on bread!". In "The One with the Ride Along", he appears to be saving Ross from a putative gunshot, when it was actually his meatball sandwich that he was trying to save; it just happened to be next to Ross . He also loves the "Joey Special"--two pizzas . His greed when it comes to food is also shown in the episode "The One With the Birth Mother" where he refuses to call Sarah the next day . When Phoebe asks why, Joey explains how Sarah broke his golden commandment on their date - not to share food . Phoebe's shocked to say the least, but Rachel admits to her how this is who Joey is . Nonetheless, Phoebe makes Joey go out with Sarah again, making him order extra fries should the need arise . Joey does so, but Sarah really wants to dig in his seafood platter, making him drop his plate to the floor in the process . This makes him explain how "Joey doesn't share food", which she seems to understand . However, things change course when Joey wants to nibble at her chocolate torte . As he wouldn't share his food with her, she reciprocates and warns him not to touch any of her desserts while she wanders off to take a call . When she arrives, her dessert is pretty much gone; Joey, with chocolate torte all over his face, is at peace with himself, and admits that he's "not even sorry!". He is something of an idiot savant in general, but capable of good ideas when the situation arises; this is alluded to in the episode "The One Where Ross Dates a Student", when Chandler, referring to Joey, says "A hot girl's at stake and suddenly he's Rain Man" when Joey suggested Ross work out who among his students called him the' hottie of the paleontology department' by comparing the handwriting of the note to the handwriting in the class essays . In another example, Joey made up an anecdote referred to as the "Europe story" or the "magic story"; apparently, anyone who hears it will immediately want to have sex with the teller . This is proven to be effective when Rachel successfully uses the story on Ross . </P>
