I know, and I’m glad you’re not leavin’. (You’re not, right?;))
Tried to find an appropriate YouTube, but couldn’t, so let’s use our imagination:
Ya got two guys sittin’ at the bar, one just having a beer (you), the other one sloppy drunk (me) after having been kicked out by his wife/left by his girlfriend.
Apparently, friend number one has said some things to make his drunk, crying buddy feel better about it all and this is what drunk buddy (while throwing his arms around buddy number one) says, while blubbering:
“Ah love you, man! sniff (raises voice) Ah loh’ you, and I ain’t just sayin’ that, okay??? sniff (lower voice) Ah loh’ you…”
Friend number one (looking around, embarrassed): “Hey, it’s okay, ah’ite?”
And they leave the bar with friend one supporting the other guy.
Now I know that’s not at all our situation, but I wrote that little skit and performed it once at a small party with friends and they loved it.
Anyway, just sayin’ I don’t have so many Doper friends that I can afford to lose one, and I’m glad you’re gonna hang, bro!
