Consummate Loser Winner Fool

Here is 1 for Ring , Ding The phone goes Hello bud want to go out for a drink Meet you at your house at 6 Hello bud how's it going lot's to catch up on Now let's fast forward a little more and bit later A single step since entering the bar The 1 friend who phoned to invite his friend out for a drink Says mines a pint you get the drinks in I've got some spare coins i want to throw into the slot machine won't be long grab us both a chair so long Half and hour or more later sat alone his friend returns and eventually re-joins him Downs his pint and says i just won 400 But friend No 2 refrained from saying well done my mate get the drinks in tonight's on you Because he knows rather than that what he is bound about to say is this Couldn't lend me 20 could you please mate I won and was 400 up but threw it all back in plud another 100 my night out spending money chasing the 1000 jackpot Actually mate can you make that 50 i'll pay you back when i get paid I know that jacpot is poised and about to pay out any second now Thanks your a good mate then proceeds to the bar only to get change Forgets about buying his mate a drink or the fact he has left him sat all on his lonesome Even though he is the 1 who actually invited him out in the 1st place and it is his 50 he is about to gamble away and loose And when and after he losses that as well like a spoilt child says to his friend That's totally ruined and spoiled my night out completely Get us 1 final drink for the road mate im off home I don't know why i even bothered to come out in the 1st place Or more to the point Why or how you have any friend's left Given the fact this happens not some of time but the majority of the time And worse than that you know you have hit the lotter friend's jacpot When the lesser of 2 evils Is choosing between this 1 Or the other 1 who has 2 drinks turns into a spiteful drunk and blames the world for everything Who would try and wants to cause and could start a fight in a graveyard Or punch a vicar if he wasn't willing to hand over his holy communion wine stash

I’m wondering where this one came from Christopher, I mean there’s certainly a pair of them, one a user yet both end up losers, not really a friendship, am I missing the point, I’m a bit flummoxed on this one

Yes you are right David. Both losers who don't or can't realise how lucky they are. Still to have friend's who are willing to put up with them. Until they eventually give up on them and loose them as well the only thing they never realised or appreciated . Who in the end stop calling as No 1 wants to go out with because what is fun to them isn't funny or worth bothering anymore
