Great Drivetime Piece!
Very funny, very entertaining and (sadly) very true. Play this one during p.m. drivetime, when everybody's trying to get across town to make that dinner date -- or booty call. They'll be calculating the schlep value in their heads...and it'll certainly spark a few interesting debates!
