Help! I need a comedic monologue for YAGMCB auditions

I have researched the internet for many long hours, but I cannot find anything. I'm not asking for someone to pick out a monologue for me, just steer me in the right direction.
I'm auditioning for the part of Sally. Any suggestions?

I've found a few good ones here:

Thank you! That website is the most helpful one yet

It's best to get out of this use-the-internet-for-monologues habit as soon as you can. You're shooting yourself in the foot in a lot of ways by getting monologues in this fashion.

Sorry if I get redundant, but here is my specific advice on how to get monologues, quoted from the READ ME sticky at the top of the audition forum:

My suggested steps to finding a monologue:
1) Check out a few monologue books from your library or buy some inexpensive ones off amazon.com
2) Find one you like. BUT DON't USE IT. (monologues from monologue books tend to be very overdone.)
3) Write down the name of the playwright who wrote the monologue you like.
4) Find other plays by this author (at your library, cheap on amazon) and read them.
5) Find a monologue in one of those OTHER plays that you like and use that.

What MaryMag does to find monologues:
1) Check out 7 scripts a week from my library.
2) Read them.
3) Return most of them cuz they contain no decent chunks of monologue.
3) Hold onto the scripts that do contain decent chunks of monologue. Photocopy said chunks, record the name of the play and the playwright, and a few other details about the scene.
4) File 'em away in a folder.
5) Whenever an audition comes up that requires a monologue, go through said folder. Very often I go through it and say, "Oh wow! I don't remember putting this in here! This will be great!""

Please refrain from using one of the overdone monologues listed on page one. I don't have the energy to go into why right now. Maybe I will later.
