Late-Night Radio

"What's more prevalent, Dr. Shirley, Requited or Unrequited Love?"

~

"The Baumeister 1993 study reported that 98% of people have been on one 

or both sides of an unrequited love, Veronica."

~

"Omigod, I don't feel so lonely anymore!"

~

"What's your situation, dear? And, we're on the air, so you 

may not want to use his or her real name."

~

"No problem. Lance is imaginary. My perfect man."

~

" ... Oookay. So, why didn't you imagine him loving you, dear?"

~

"I did, but Lance is way too affectionate. It's boring."

~

"So imagine him less affectionate, dear! Problem solved!"

~

" ...Don't you mean get your a*s into real-life, dear, Dr. Shirley?" 

~

" ...Oh ...yeah. Do that, dear."
