I was cleaning out my inbox....Found this

Nov 27, 2003 9:10PM PST

It was sent to me a couple of years ago from a close friend and I got to thinking as I re-read it how often it has hit close to home with the members here:

Are you tired of the mushy "friendship" poems that always sound good
but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a "friendship" poem
that really speaks to true friendship and truth itself ...

Friend, When you are sad, ...I will help you plot revenge against the sorry
******* who made you sad.

When you are blue, ...I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile, ...I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared, ...I will rag you about it every chance I get.

When you are worried, ...I will tell you horrible stories about how
much worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused...I will use little words to explain it to your
dumb ***.

When you are sick.....stay away from me until you're well again. I
don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, I will point and laugh at your clumsy ***.

This is my oath, I pledge 'till the end. Why you may ask? Because
you're my friend!

Send this poem to ten of your closest friends, or else you will have bad luck and go to hell and get
depressed because you realize you only have 2 friends, and one of them is not speaking to you right now anyway.

P.S. A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body.

Thank you for the good belly laugh after reading your posting. Laughter is good medicine and I will forward it to one, or if still speaking, two friends. Cheers
