Remember that cluster of Friends episodes where Joey had his left arm in a sling? The injury that was supposedly caused by him jumping on the bed?

Well, that was just a cover-up for what really happened. As Matt LeBlanc explains in the Jimmy Kimmel Live clip above, he had to have his arm in a sling because he'd dislocated his shoulder -- and he'd done it while filming a previous episode of the show.

Skip to 04:00 for the full story, which involves a fight over a chair and -- randomly -- an E.R. doctor.
