We looked at it under the microscope. Definite cell walls, and with very intact cellular structure suggesting that it wasn’t Xylem. If it was Xylem, no problem – we’d just stop letting him snort bark. But the Phloem’s a problem – it implies that there’s something GROWING in his lungs, which is weird since there’s no light and hence no photosynthesis, but I’m watching for a shoot to pop out his nose any day now.

Bloody spell check. And bloody fathers-in-law. Yes, Phlegm. How ironic that you’re so well educated on both topics, huh?

Maybe it was the xylem which he was coughing up? If that were the case, quit feeing him so much broccoli or whatever kind of plants that you had been feeding him.

Or maybe even phlegm? In any case, keep him breathing. That is important.

I’m just playing with you, Joel! Cheers!
