This is so important, I think we should do it *really* slowly and  
carefully.

def find_slim(homies)
   if (real_slim = homies.select do |guy|
         guy.name.eql?('Slim Shady')
       end.reject do |guy|
         guy.respond_to?(:imitate_shady)
       end.each do |guy|
         guy.send(:please_stand_up, Time.now)
       end).length == 1
     real_slim.first
   else
     homies.shady_missing(:real_slim)
   end
end
