How do you not fall down more

[masterding]

From 《Friends》:
PHOEBE: We were just wondering if Chandler's girlfriend is a girl.

JOEY: Oh, well. Just ask her how long she's gonna live. Women live longer than men.

CHANDLER: How do you not fall down more?

what does "how do you not fall down more" mean?

It's not terribly elegant, but it conveys a sense. I assume it means something like 'How do you avoid falling down so often?'

Yes, but what does it mean in this context? It seems a strange thing to say.

I agree, but I can't say Friends scripts are my strong point (!) Maybe it's something to do with osteoporosis...?

I can only guess (I never liked this show) that it means that Joey is so stupid that it's a miracle his brain works enough to keep him moving around without disaster.

Maybe she's being sarcastic, saying that he's so funny that he should be ROFL more often (literally).
