Difference Between a Friend & a Greek Friend!

Every now and then I come across a funny, but acurate snapshot of friendship. Truth be told, you could insert other ethnic groups and delete the Greek reference. I will note if any of these apply to me...LOL....Enjoy!


FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
GREEK FRIENDS: Always bring the food. Nah, I always ask for food!

FRIENDS: Will say 'hello.'
GREEK FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. Not if I just saw you.

FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
GREEK FRIENDS: Call your parents: Theio(uncle) and Theia (aunt). No. I will now call your parents Jack and Elaine.

FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
GREEK FRIENDS: Cry with you. I am often the reason you are crying.

FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
GREEK FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing and just being together. I will also clean out your refrigerator and liquor cabinet while talking and laughing.

FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
GREEK FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And so I am, with this blog!

FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
GREEK FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' ass that left you. Okay, maybe this one is accurate. However, middle age has brought the wisdom of new weapons. Like napalm.


FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
GREEK FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, 'I'm home!' I will also ask for a key and offer to water your plants while you are away. Then I will consume the contents of your refrigerator.


FRIENDS: Are for a while.
GREEK FRIENDS: Are for life. I have refined stalking to a science.


FRIENDS: Will ignore this email.
GREEK FRIENDS: Will forward it. After I have eaten the contents of your refrigerator.
