A clarification on the importance of friends.

So, after such a gushing, sappy, somewhat corny vow of thanks to my friends, they have proven themselves to be nothing but jackasses.

I called friend #1 at his office the other day. He answered the phone and identified himself. I then identified myself and asked how he was doing. To which he replied, "Well, number 1 is doing just fine."

It took me a few seconds to catch on to his meaning. Then it all became clear.

My friends. Those who I have put my confidence in. Those who I rely on. Those who I can count on to be there for me.

They simply took my little bit of gratitude and turned it into a popularity contest.

So I say to my friends, "You guys suck."

#1 now feels he has something to hang over the heads of #2 and #3. #3 now feels he is the bottom of the barrel, and consoles himself by saying, "He must have saved the best for last." #2 has been strangely quiet, perhaps happy with his unintentionally labeled station in life.

So to these 3 idiots I say this: You guys are idiots. I still love ya, but you are idiots.

Thanks for tuning in.

  4. Sadly, I have it on somewhat reliable authority that #2 appreciates making the list and not having the pressure of being #1 or the shame of #3. Of course my response had something to do with the other use of the term "#2" which he was sure was not your intention. I think overall you are right in your assessment of the whole lot. But I love you all anyway! Janine

  5. #3 here...

    Do not mistake our joking as a lack of appreciation for your kind words. I am glad that you value our friendship so much...I do as well, just as I am happy if I can help you when you may be down.

    I know we are all #1 in your heart.

    And as for the idiot comment, I much rather prefer the term "savant".

You went to all the trouble to get yourself here, you might as well say something about it.
