Rachel: “I was an editor at Vogue, but my favorite job was when I was a fashion editor at Esquire.”

Me: “Why was that your favorite job?”

Rachel: “I had the best time working with the men; they are much more fun.”

“What makes you happy?’

“My friends.  I have a solid group of friends.  That’s the most important thing.”

Me: “Tell me what one should do about a love problem.”

Felix: I need more information.  I’ve got a REAL problem.”

Me: “Oh, yeah? What is it?’

Felix: “There’s this chick-she keeps telling me she wants to f**k.  I say, ‘okay, where?’ She doesn’t tell me where to meet her.  This keeps happening.  She’s playing games.”

Me: “It sounds like maybe it’s time to move on.”

Felix: “Thanks for the advice.”
