From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  FRIENDSHIP, n.  A ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but
  only one in foul.
  
      The sea was calm and the sky was blue;
      Merrily, merrily sailed we two.
          (High barometer maketh glad.)
      On the tipsy ship, with a dreadful shout,
      The tempest descended and we fell out.
          (O the walking is nasty bad!)
                                                       Armit Huff Bettle
