Some advice for those seeking rubbery favors

For a long time I thought that the only way to obtain favors: rubbery men was through the slime and amber opportunity card. There's a long grind in Flute Street, but that's not available for most and is only really worth it if you're focusing exclusively on grinding favors. I just recently realized that the polite invitation card can provide favors as well.
The tentacled entrepreneur provides 1 favor when you hit talk of the town 2 and play the "is confused by the cutlery" option. He also has a 50% chance to provide another one at talk of the town 5 if you choose the "is heading hopefully in your direction" card provided that you don't have many favors (I've forgotten the cutoff). The chance to draw the tentacled entrepreneur is 1 in 7 so he's not hard to find; especially if you have a 5 card lodging. It's also helpful to wait to play the polite invitation card when you have 3 cards in your opportunity deck as the number of cards will double when you reach the party.
I know many players may have already discovered this, but I feel that its worth mentioning for those of us who overlooked it. Good luck to all on your rubbery grind!

You also can earn a docks favor on a rare success at time remaining 3 by sticking to something stately during the last dance.

If you go in with 3 cards to draw, you'll have 6. If you leave with 3 cards to draw, you'll have 6.
I don't know the proper number for EFs but you can get some of your cards back in the same way.

Exceptional Friends have a deck limit of 10, so entering and leaving with 5 is ideal.
