The man's grammar and punctuation stink (maybe spelling, too; I didn't find the exercise problem), but I read this line, and I was hooked:
HUNTER ON FRIENSHIP: I'VE ALWAYS SAID, THE WAY TO BUILD LASTING FRIENDSHIPS IS TO CALL YOUR FRIENDS WHEN YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING, JUST GIVE PEOPLE A CALL WHEN YOU DON'T NEED SOMETHING.
Okay, so it's a comma splice. But I recently lost my best friend because she doesn't ever call (we were best friends for 20 years, yet she is not the type to ever make a phone call--which is why I was her only friend, I gather). I stopped calling her one day just to see if she would ever call me, and she didn't, so we didn't speak for about two years. I ran into her somewhere, and we became best friends again instantly for another seven years. I got busy, and I never heard from her. A holiday came, and I figured she'd call and say Happy whatever, but she didn't. Haven't spoken to her since November.
So I'm a little choked up by this quote. So sue me.
