Success Skeptics Pillows

'Oh, please no, ma'am! I couldn't stand the stress of success!'

'Don't you see Rick - your slump is just a success neurosis. You found your .394 average dangerous, because you fantasised that it would bring about resentment.'

Teamwork!

'I'm part of the decision-making process... I'm the 'No' part.'

"We made a miscalculation, but it's consistent with our over-all strategy."

Gloat
