Definition of a Friend
A friend should be radical; They should love you when you're unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable, And bear you when you're unbearable.
A friend should be fanatical; They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news, And cry when you cry, too.
But most of all - a friend should be mathematical. They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow, Subtract the past, And add tomorrow, Calculate the need deep in your heart, And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

At the riding school I ran, getting 12 rambunctious ten- to 14- year-old girls and ten horses and ponies to a horse show could be difficult, and everyone had a job to do. Several girls were in charge of the multitude of saddles, bridles, saddle pads and sundry pieces of equipment. Then came the checklists. Despite our best efforts, never a Sunday went by without the cry "I forgot the...."
Turning a truck and trailer around on country roads to retrieve the forgotten item is tricky, and this Saturday I was determined to be perfect. We checked the lists twice. But just after we started out, I heard, "We forgot the..."
In exasperation I interrupted, "Whoever forgot it will not go today!"
"But you forgot to load the ponies," they cried.

My boss, a bachelor, doesn't spend much time gardening, but he does make an effort to add some colour to the front of his property by planting some geraniums.
Once, after leaving the office, he stopped at the gardening center and bought several of the red beauties.
When he arrived home, he decided it wouldn't take long to plant them, so, in suit and tie, he found his trowel and set to work. Halfway through his effort, he glanced up and spotted his neighbor smiling at him.
"What's so funny?" Abe asked.
"I see you're planting a formal garden this year," his neighbor replied.
