Dear Throat:

We've been over this. You've been with me for 22 years, now. You should know. And, in fact, I think you do know, but are being willfully ignorant.

So I am telling you again.

I DO NOT LIKE TAPIOCA. So please, please, please stop looking like you are coated in it. I am in pain, and have been for a week.

Keep this up. See what happens. (You can be replaced, you know.)
