My Friend Will Get Back to You On That. Oh, and Don't Make Her Mad.

A friend of mine is quite over-extended. In response, a mutual friend, who has brought assertiveness to a high art, has offered to be her life manager.

Any time a request for time, effort, or personal presence is made to my over-extended pal, the request will have to be directed to her life manager, who then has to say Yay or Nay. Or just let rip with a few well-chosen epithets.

I thought only celebrities and parolees could get that kind of service.
