Friends are very important. I have lots of friends in very high places. I hope the police can talk them down!

Alright, listen up, buttercup. This joke is about someone who thinks they're hot stuff 'cause they got "friends in high places." But here's the kicker: those "high places" ain't boardrooms, they're like...ledges. The joke is that the author's friend are so high that they will jump off a building. The police will need to talk them down. It plays on the double meaning and the author thinks it's an accomplishment to have suicidal friends. Which is something you would probably do.
