What's the mark of a true friend?
The mark of a true friend is not
whether or not they’ll buy you a drink when you’re down or even talk to you
when you need to be talked to. The mark of a true friend is whether or not they’ll
go to the store and buy you underwear when you need them. As the story goes……
We were in Las Vegas last week and
it was hot. Although I live by the motto “the hotter the better” it kicks off a
touch of OCD in me. I shower often when it’s hot. 2 or 3 times a day because I
have a thing about my twigs and berries being clean. I know, I’m nuts! A side effect
of this is that you go through underwear quicker than you thought you might. I
started the week with 14 and was almost out of them by day 5 with 3 more to go.
So by the time “Da Don” showed up on Wednesday I was already complaining about
being out of them. So what’s this all about you ask? Ask yourself this. What
would you do for a friend in this situation?
I was sitting in a session when my
phone vibrated. I look and I have a txt from Da Don (Mike Mott) He asks….wait
for it…….What size? I’m thinking OMG, he isn’t. I tell him and he asks Boxers
or briefs? Now I’m beside myself. It was hard to contain myself. So I answer
(for those of you wondering) boxer\briefs (now you know :) He says “OK, I’ll
see you in a bit” Turns out he walked 3 or 4 miles to buy me underwear. They
were $60 for 6 which was interesting but I now had enough for the week. So now
not only does he watch HBO in his underwear with me but he actually buys me the
underwear that I’m wearing when I’m watching HBO. That’s a true friend. I tip
my cap to you Mott. So I ask you……what would you do for a friend?
