Si el amigo sale del apuro, el destino ya se encargará de que os crucéis en algún lado&#; nada más latoso ni que más tiempo consuma que esforzarse por animar a otro porque se le ha muerto la mujer o quiere quitarse la vida. Una tele conviene más que un amigo deprimido. En vez de desperdiciar el tiempo escuchando penas, empléalo en congraciarte con tus superiores.
