Mike: Project, Mike, project! Put yourself in the running shoes of a 25-year-old upscale female college graduate! Cassie, J.J. asked me to pass along a question to you. Cassie: What's that, Michael? Mike: Well, ever since we got married she's been feeling the usual pressure to have it all, or, at least most of it. Cassie: Uh-huh. Mike: She wants to know how you manage to keep all the balls up in the air at the same time - how you balance a demanding career, a family, and a social life without losing your mind. Cassie: Simple. I have insomnia, no friends, kids I barely know, and a husband who's about to file for seperation. Mike: Oh. Um...mind if I dress up that answer a little bit? Cassie: Not at all. Tell her I just smiled modestly as I slipped out for handball.
