Patti Birbiglia—a strategy director at SYPartners (www.sypartners.com)—often quotes her brother, Mike Birbiglia, a witty comedian. He talks always about situations he’s been in and what he said.

After trying my skill at being on television, in the glare of the lights, I know now exactly what Mike means...let me explain what I should have said.
