My Friend

We make friends through different phases in our life. Although true friendships can begin very quickly, they do take time to build into lasting and valuable relationships.
I met a true friend in my workplace. We spend lot of great time together and our friendship had endured through many years. My friend is a rare person to be with because he is funny, friendly, and faithful. First of all, one of my friend’s exceptional traits is being funny. My friend has a very good sense of humor and always has a way of saying something funny about anything. For instance, when we were together in a church service and we have this pastor who was more than 6-foot tall and weighs about 400 pounds. He asked me what would people say if he enters a room for the first time. In a low voice, he told me: “Oh, my God!’ Also, my friend is keeping a list of jokes he learned in a pocket notebook. So whatever the occasion and whatever the topic, my friend always have the joke of the moment. Once, we were discussing with a friend about rounding off numbers. He told us about a farmer who counted 196 cows in the pasture but when he rounded them off to his yard, he had 200. My friend also has the ability to mimic in a fun way the personality of many known people. For example, he can mimic the dancing steps of Michael Jackson, the facial expressions of Jim Carrey, how Donald Trump talks, and many others.
In addition to being funny, my friend is also very friendly. It’s amazing to note the number of friends he has. To illustrate, in our workplace, he befriended everyone not only in our department but also throughout the many divisions in our company. So it’s not uncommon that he’s always invited to a lot of celebrations including departmental, birthdays and anniversaries where he has more opportunities to expand his network of friends and showcase his entertainment skills.
