It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

Friends

Sympathizer, helper, and that's about the size of it.
They might call you when they need something, some make us laugh like the Sunday funnies.
Be too nice and they'll take you for a dummy, never feed the baboons.
For something so cheap like friends, it sure buys a lot of trouble.
Guy 1: "I checked the dictionary for the meaning of friends. It said, "Person one likes to socialize with, Sympathizer, helper", and that's about that size of it."
Guy 2: "Did you just say an MF DOOM lyric? Whatever man, forget it."
