A bunch of these most of us already knew, but I always thought #9 was true. Plus, you're telling me I can't pee on my friends leg next time he gets stung by a jellyfish? Nah, I'm doing it anyway. Odds are he doesn't know.

Maybe your friend assumes it's YOU who doesn't know about the jellyfish thing. Maybe you two should just admit your feelings and let the consequences be damned.

I'm just saying, there aren't a lot of times you can pee on some one and be called a hero at the same time...

A friend would pee on you if you were on fire.
I assume that's true because there is a saying about what you wouldn't do if someone who wasn't your friend was on fire...

Remember once at the lake my uncle set down by a clump of grass, next thing ya know he's cussing our rat terrier for heisting his leg on said clump of grass and taking care of bizness! Oh man, good times!

Loosen up fellas...This is nothing more than an attempt to add some humor to the SO that is currently being crippled by copycat threads and boring questions.

Not to mention your eternal souls.

My friend, we get that. There's a reason we all seized on GS and not on your informative diet and exercise pointers. Because, you know, it's not everyday we get a good GS thread on the South Oval. Even when Howzit posts, which is surprising.

Actually, because of Victorian attitudes in medicine, the actual cure for a jellyfish sting was to ejaculate on the wound. So, the next time you see me humping someone's leg, please, let me finish.

You're a giver.
