Makes me wonder what the actual meaning of the phrase "in need". If "someone in need", does it mean that "someone who comes when we need something" or "someone who is needing something"?

a friend in need can have both meanings. The humour lies in switching the meaning.

a friend in need is a friend indeed A friend who helps you when you need help is a true friend

a friend in need is a friend to be avoided A friend who needs help is someone you should avoid, because it is a nuisance to have to help your friends.
