A quick thought. You know you have good friends when:
At some ungodly hour you make up a horrendous joke and call someone to tell them about it and they respond as follows.
Me: Hey, how did the pirate captain prevent scurvy?
Friend: Um... I don't know.
Me: He stormed the Vitamin Cs!
Friend: Ha ha (obviously a pity laugh) Good, but I thought you were going to say "Because he brought aboard AAAARRRanges".
Me: Ha ha (genuine laugh) No, but that's good.
See? Good friends give you a pity laugh and send you on a way with a joke even worse than your own. This probably is some sort of way to establish dominance. I don't know, it probably worked. The moral of this whole little rant? DON'T MAKE UP BAD JOKES AT UNGODLY HOURS.
Speaking of which... What did the butter say to the knife? I'm on a roll!
