8th June: Best Friends Day

How do you tell a best friend from a merely good friend? Here are ten ways to know when someone truly is your best friend:

1. If you find yourself in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, “Damn, that was fun.”
2. A friend is someone who will help you move. A real friend is someone who will help you move a body.
3. Best friends don't judge one another. They judge other people. Together.
4. Sometimes your best friend understands you better than you understand yourself.
5. Best friends don't get offended when you insult them. They smile and call you something even more offensive.
6. You can always tell when two people are best friends because they are having more fun than it makes sense for them to be having.
7. A good friend knows all your best stories; a best friend has lived them with you.
8. Friends ask why you're crying... best friends already have the shovel ready to bury the loser that made you cry.
9. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.
10. A good friend will laugh at the things you're saying. A best friend will laugh at the things you're both thinking of.
