This joke is from here.It reminds me of a saying  which is common here,in fact it is hackneyed ..with friends like these,who needs enemies?I suppose we expect more from friends so feel more hurt if they betray us or toss us  aside like an old dish rag when they meet someone they believe is superior to us..but beware.The Ides of March are approaching and remember what happened then?

If a person in YOUR life has more problems than a math book, more drama than a screenplay, and more game plays than a football playbook, then before you are driven to tears like in the movie The Notebook, let them go.
