I’ll Take The Diamonds, Thanks

How many friends can a person have?

There are certain criteria to be considered here, so the answer is not simply as many as possible.

• Rich friends – as many as possible.  Duh.
• Poor friends – really?  Like you need to be reminded of your personal situation.
• Interesting friends – as many as possible.  You always need material for your blog.
• Dull friends – forget it.  There’s only so much yawning a mouth can take before lockjaw sets in.
• Funny friends – as many as possible.  Joke stealing is less noticed if you spread the source.
• Friends with no sense of humour – useful for practising on.  A butt is a must for a humorist.
• Nice friends – acceptable.  You might get a present or a helping hand when you need it.
• Unpleasant friends – a few; makes you look good in contrast.
• Generous friends – as many as possible; how else can you afford to re-gift at Christmas?
• Mean friends – one; to give the Christmas tat to that you don’t like to pass on to anyone else.
• Social networking friends – as many as possible; how else will your blog go viral?

I hope that’s sorted that out for you.

The question now, of course, is which category do you fall into?
