Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: You look so busy. What are you working on now?
Me: An advertisement for a cologne for introverts that hasn't been created yet. Gonna need help with that part. Chanel... Dior, maybe.
Brenda: What's so special about it?

Brenda: What's it called?
Me: LEAVE ME, THE FA COLOGNE.
Brenda: You better hope for a lot of on-line sales.
