Things that end friendships

Kid I know, 19 years old. Nice kid, been lifeguarding since he was 16. Goes out partying one night, hits a parked car. Blows 0.21. Nobody got hurt.

Parents want to sue the bar.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

The family of the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who killed himself in a DUI-related wreck want to sue the bar that offered him a cab as he was walking out the door, he declined, said he was walking to a nearby hotel...again, who is the bad guy here?

He might be brain damaged from syphilis.

$20 hooker, scary...I drove through East St. Louis the other day and the "ladies" working the corners were all just nasty, look like meth heads, all scrawny and dirty. Yuck! Not like that movie Pretty Woman by any stretch of the imagination.

Anything concerning the loaning of money.........or the sharing of money..........will run a serious risk of terminating the friendship.

Hunting, Fishing and Morel Mushrooms are the main culprits for ending my friendships. I have had a couple squabbles with friends over money but only one left with a lasting feud.

Prized Steelhead spots on a river, you take your friend with the oath that he will never return or bring anyone to it and you find him on the bank with three buddies on opening morning, if you fish the Manistee opening morning you will always catch a fight or two. There is one other involving walleye but its too long and boring to get into.

Money issues are rare because specific agreements are made prior to the transaction and adhered to I guess it works here because of the small town mentality. Money is replaceable but you can't replant a Morel.

I do agree that ending a long term relationship over fishing is stupid and immature but it's the PRINCIPLE! the wives hold their heads in shame when it is discussed.

........yeah, that would do it.

........fishing had nothing to do with it.........it's the betrayal of a trust.......
