My good good friend Nadine

Renee sent me an email today to let me know how much she appreciates my friendship.  The following was her e-mail:

Subject: True Friendship

Are you tired of all those sissy-ass “friendship” poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:

  1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
  2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
  3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.
  4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
  5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
  6. When you are confused - I will use little words.
  7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again.  I don’t want whatever you have.
  8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath…I pledge it till the end.  “Why?” you may ask ... because you are my friend.
