Haha! That was funny~ =D
“Gave my friend and I a good laugh.”
That should be, “Gave my friend and me a good laugh.”
You wouldn’t say, “Gave I a good laugh.” Or would you?
I would

The word is used in the proper sense here –
BTW @DSL – “my friend and I” is the right way to say it.
I also couldn’t help but notice the “no fish oil” sentence in the sign. This sign is very strange indeed. Heheh.
@Guru, “my friend and I” is NOT the proper way to say it in this context. The correct usage would be “Gave my friend and me a good laugh”.
