still not THAT funny...

I think, one of the hardest things for guy friends to do, is get each others' phone number. It's not like asking a girl. With a girl you can be smooth, calm, collected. But with a dude, it is pretty damned close to being gay. You can't just lead in with, "hey bro, let me get your number." It just doesn't work that way. You have to do some roundabout shit to get that guy's number. Maybe you have someone send them a text from your phone or call them from your phone and then you save it later. Maybe you are co-workers and can make up some bull shit reason to call them. Whatever we can do other than asking, "Can I have your number" to another guy, we'll do it.
