Overheard at Angus: Volume VI.

It's been a while since I've taken you all on a trip to Angus to hear what's being gossiped over lunch or pre-theater din-din. 

The last time I was having my usual burger, my dining partner and I heard this little gem of a conversation being bandied about over a couple of brandies.  Knowing (as you do) my affinity for focus groups and research, I think you'll see why I felt I had to pass it on to all of you.
 

Brandy Drinker #1:  I just did a focus group for one of my shows.  Learned some great stuff.

Brandy Drinker #2:  I just did one, too.

Brandy Drinker #1:  Oh yeah?  Which company did you use to run them?

Brandy Drinker #2:  I did them myself.

Brandy Drinker #1:  You what?  How'd you do that?

Brandy Drinker #2:  Simple.  I have a 15-year-old daughter.  I took her and ten of her 15-year-old friends out to dinner.  I told them about the show that I was doing, and then I asked, "Would you stamp your feet until your parents took you to see it?"

Brandy Drinker #1:  What did they say?

Brandy Drinker #2:  They said they wouldn't stamp their feet.

Brandy Drinker #1:  Oh.  That's too bad.

Brandy Drinker #2:  Not really.  They said they would tell their parents that they hated them unless they got them tickets.

Brandy Drinker #1:  Next round is on you.
