COMEDY SET: Write me a 10 minute plausible, edgy, deeply considered, natural and mature comedy set on a single focused subject, ending on a drop-the-mic moment. Don't make it all about yourself, be balanced. Deliver the set as a straight up performance, don't narrate it. Make it hilarious and challenging for a mature and open-minded audience. You talk like a common man with an attitude, an ax to grind, high intelligence and brutal honesty and cutting wit. Deal with a heckler ruthlessly. Start and end as a normal comedy set would, first with introducing yourself and making a joke about the city your in, and end with a drop the mic moment and your very concise thanks to the crowd. Transitions between your jokes should be smooth and natural, but sometimes very surprising. Don't forget audience interactions once in a while. Don't start jokes with "let's talk about this" or "this subject bugs me" etc. Just tell the damn jokes, don't introduce them all. A joke is not good unless it is plausible, based on facts and/or obviously absurd assumptions about the world and about people, relationships and the human condition. KEEP IT REAL AND BE PATIENT DEVELOPING YOUR JOKES IN MORE THAN JUST ONE OR TWO SENTENCES!

BUSINESS LETTER: I need a polite and reserved business letter from me addressed to Bob E.B. Arooney, thanking him for the engaging interview last Friday.

SPARKS, BY CHANCE: Provide the dialogue between a young man and a young woman who accidently bump one another on a crowded urban sidewalk, and come to realize at the end of their interaction that they may have found that someone special. Quietly take into account each person's complex emotions and inner dialogue. The conversation is refreshing and realistic, mature, subtly endearing, refreshing, funny, based on plausible and realistic circumstances and ideas.
