Does this sound overly insane and presumptuous? My agent says to of course go for it, but I'm not sure if I'm being crazy. Is this crazy?

I can't imagine that it would be in your agent's interest to make you look insane or presumptuous. Plus, that sounds way cool.

Yeah. I know they get 10% of everything, but I'd think your average agent would already have sufficient 'insane' and 'presumptuous' and be going for the benjamins.****
Trudy, you probably have no way of knowing this unless you read GWW, but it was a much-loved Buffista who helped set up Allyson with her agent, who happens to be a relative to said Buffista. So maybe calling agents in general or Allyson's agent specifically insane and presumptuous is a bit over the top and offensive.
It saddens me that you have never heard an agent joke. There are thousands. They were invented approximately a half a day after "take my wife, please."
Fortunately, every agent on earth is familiar with the convention.
