Realistic Friendship Promises

A very good friend of mine thought this was appropriate for our friendship and I really wanted to share this with everyone. It makes a lot of sense to me.
Are you tired of all those mushy 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 get you drunk and will help you 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 and give you a high five.

4. When you are scared, I will rag 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 small words and draw pictures to explain.

7. When you are sick, stay the hell away from me until you’re 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 ’til the end. Why, you may ask? Because you’re my friend!

*modified* Send this link to ten of your closest friends and get depressed because you can only think of two, and one of them is not speaking to you right now anyway.

Remember: A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.
