My best friend died on Labor Day and as such my wife missed some doctor's appointments in supporting me.

Today, we went to a make-up appointment and apologized, explaining our recent loss.

The doctor said, "Tell me about him. Tell me some stories about your friend."

We were very touched.

--------- asked to share a favorite memory --------

My buddy was an imp with a tremendous sense of humor. He and some buddies were eating in a crowded pizza joint where the bathrooms were near the exit.

One guy: I need to pee, but I don't want anyone to think that I'm leaving without paying.

My friend: Ah, c'mon, it'll be fine.

The one guy stands and makes it halfway across the busy dining room when my friend stands, points, and yells, "HEY! THAT GUY IS LEAVING WITHOUT PAYING!"
