Try to say as many as six "impossible" things before breakfast.  In other
words, be arbitrary and capricious as a matter of course. They're not paying
you to be nice.

Example, from the NEW YORK POST

CHRIS Rock sure can be finicky at photo shoots. The comic refused to pose
with a $500,000, walnut-sized diamond on his tongue for the cover of Detour
magazine on Saturday, complaining it made him look "too femme," say
insiders. The canary yellow gem was flown in at great expense from the Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., vault of Diamond.com, accompanied by a beefy baubleguard
named George. The problem-plagued shoot at snapper Markus Klinko's Soho
studio ran into another snafu when Rock refused to wear a natty Gucci suit,
saying it make him look "too Puffy," as in the flashily-attired Sean Combs.
Sources say the final cover will feature either a close-up of Rock's face,
or a full-body shot of him wearing a suit made by an obscure Japanese
designer.
