Yes, Banana, please do calm down.  I just came out of a morning meeting
with Tarrington and there does appear to be a misunderstanding.  The SOPHIA
that the Ickmonster was eluding to was not our Sister Tater.  You are just
under a lot of pressure with trying to get all that work done before you
take off for the weekend.  Lemon Flavored Gingerale, I'm sure that Tater
will understand that Banana split was under a great deal of pressure which
caused her to jump to her rash conclusion.  Things will be fine, Nanner.
Relax, enjoy your vacation, and your surroundings while you're away.
Things will become clear after you return from vacation.

Yes, rest would be the best thing for you right now.  Don't overdue it too
much today.  Things will be fine.  Don't you zany people get into too much
trouble, but make sure you have enough fun for all of us!!!!  Tell all
hello.
