About friendships and events you're dying to go to

We can all agree that having friends is nice, they are our life partners. They are always there for you when you need them (and when you don't as well). But, having friends doesn't guarantee you that when Friday night comes and you want to see your favourite band live that travelled all the way from the Polynesia just to play in your local bar and they will actually go with you.
Of course not, because when you ask them if they are willing to honour you with their company for such }event, you are more likely to hear this kind of responses:

-Umm, you know what? Actually is my great aunt's birthday. If it wasn't for that, I would totally go!

-Sorry man, the thing is, I have a quantum physics exams tomorrow that I'm just dying to study for.

-Where are they playing? That far? And we would have to take public transport in this weather? No way, man. But, have a good time yourself!


The awful truth, as hard as it is for us to believe, is that the answers are not real, they are mere excuses your real friends use to avoid actually telling you that they do not share the same musical taste. Surprising findings, right? I would have never seen it coming.

That it is why I came up with a viable solution to this frequent problem: cloning. Just that simple. It is very easy, you just clone yourself. This clone will be equally eager to attend the events you've been dying to go to. You could even share the cab fare, so the ride to the event would definitely be cheaper. You would happily sing along to the same songs and you know your clone is going to be in a good mood instead of doing it out of a sense of obligation. This way, you'll never have to go alone to a concert, movies or whatever event that your heart desires.

Nonetheless, when finally everyone can have access to cloning, the possibility arises that someone murmurs when you pass by: -What a loser!, he came to the gig with his clone.
