My Relationship with Jenny — Part 5: Problems with Friends

Now, it came to pass that, while grocery-shopping, I ran into my old pal Mickey. When I greeted him, he acted standoffish. So I asked him what’s wrong, and he said: “You are not a good friend.”

“Mickey!” I cried, “what makes you say this?”

He answered: “It’s that awful girl you’re dating — she takes up all your time.”

Now my countenance fell, and I spoke rashly, saying: “Jenny means more to me than all the money in the world, whereas you are not even worth one single cent.”

Mickey shook his head and replied: “Fine, then, go with your girl; but don’t come weeping on MY shoulder when you two split up.”

And, as he turned to leave, I murmured: “Unlike you and Nikki, Jenny and I are forever.”

Then Mickey turned around and shouted: “Screw you.”

But I wanted to say the last word, so I shouted back: “Screw you, too.”
