True story: I’m in my local Peet’s Coffee shop, early in the morning, buying a cup of coffee. The line is long. After about ten minutes, I get to the front, and I’m about to give my order when a nice-looking girl swoops in front of me, smiles quickly, says, “Sorry, I was waiting over there by the mugs and stuff,” orders her latte, and moves off. It was early and she was pretty, so I let it go, but I was pretty steamed. Moments later, as we were getting into our cars—we had coincidentally parked side-by-side—she shrugged and said, “I’m sorry for cutting the line! But I’m late for an audition—some crappy sitcom. Thanks for understanding!” And with that, she zoomed off in her bottle green VW Bug.
About 30 minutes later, she was in my office, auditioning for my new show.
