Old friend

Paul and I go way back, and he’s always been there for me. I remember when I lost my job, Paul was there. When I got run over, Paul was there. When I broke my arm, Paul was there. And when I got dumped by my one-and-only girlfriend, Paul was there. In fact, come to think about it Paul - you're a jinx!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jason, one of Paul's closest friends for over 15 years. In that time, I've been a partner in crime on many occasions and, in the quieter moments, a confidant for Paul to whom he can tell anything - which has provided me with ample material for my speech this afternoon.
