  4. Create a dossier for each of your friends. Use a manila folder with their picture affixed to the front with a paperclip. Type their full name on the folder tab.

Whenever you get together with a friend, place the dossier on the table in front of them and leaf through it from time to time.<\/li>\n
  5. Grow a mustache. (Girls too.)<\/li>\n
