I would have sworn that this originated as a sig line in USENET.
However, the first time this appeared on USENET, it wasn't in a sig at all.
On Jan 20 1992, 1:34 am, H keith Henon in alt.med, wrote a post called "Account of a Cryonic Suspension" in which he referenced the saying as being old:
"A week later, at a memorial at our patient's house an old friend of mine repeated the aphorism that a friend is someone you call to help you move, and that a *real* friend is someone you call to help move a body. We had lots of real friends that day."
I don't think you're going to find the wonderful sardonic genius who came up with this witticism.

The same person who said "A good friend bails you out of the police station, your best friend is in the cell next door laughing with you"!
Edit - Logan A - I stand corrected! Apologies. My wine addled brain is obviously a bit rubbish today!

Dear sunshine it goes:
A friend bails you out of jail, a true friend is in there with you saying "Damn that was fun"

that sounds just like that one quote [i think it's anonymous]:
"a good friend will bail you out of jail; a true friend will be sitting next to you in jail, saying 'damn...we f*ed up'."
