The C++ class friendship concept provides wonderful opportunities for stupid humor; the classic example of this is "Only friends get to touch my privates!"
In a discussion of the properties of friendship yesterday, we also came up with "The friend of my friend is not necessarily my friend," (friendship is not transitive) and "My friends' kids are not necessarily my friends," (friendship is not inherited).
Of course, friendship is generally considered dangerous and a strong possible sign of leaky abstractions, so I try to avoid it whenever possible. :>
