The Company You Keep

Seeing that you brought along this friend shows you are confident that I get along with him. You have again made the assumption that it is with ease that your friends can tolerate each other. That your overly congenial nature is something we have in common. I must point out the error in your ways. The other friend in this equation, the one who is not me, is a humorless troglodyte whose company I would seek out just before that of a rabid orangutan. There is no transitive property of friendship. Perhaps you should reconsider with whom you spend your time before I do.
