Friend: "You should become like Malcolm Gladwell, but for math!"
Me: "Sounds easy. Maybe after that I can be like Rihanna, but for soccer." Friend: "I'm not sure what you mean by..."
Me: "Or like Michelangelo, but for doing your taxes."
Me: "Or like Steven Spielberg, but for household chores!" Friend: "Okay, I know you're teasing me, but that one sounds awesome."
