Dear Intestines,

Hands and I have been trying to write a paper, but whatever celebration you're having down there is somewhat distracting. Is there any chance it could wait for a few hours? This is due tomorrow.

Thanks,
Brain

Hi Brain,

I'd love to quiet down, but what you're being distracted by is actually my very painful death throes. FYI, Stomach is responsible for this. I keep telling him that I have a hard time with grease and meat, but does he listen to me? No. In future, please direct complaints to him. I will try to keep it down as much as possible for now.

Dear Stomach,

It is my understanding that you have not been in communication with Intestines regarding what food to request. I received your petition for a raspberry danish earlier, and complied speedily. To my knowledge it was delivered for mastication in a timely manner. I assume you did your best breaking it down, but Intestines report that excess butter is no longer manageable. Please adjust your cravings accordingly. In addition, your petition for a McDonald's cheeseburger last night was denied based upon a previous incident regarding the ingestion of similar. Please reflect upon your choices in future before submitting them for approval. Do not assume that you can get away with said cravings unless pregnancy occurs, and you must be aware of my feelings on that matter.

Regards,
Brain

Brain,

Thanks for speaking with Stomach. Hopefully this means less pain in future. I'm going to sleep until this all blows over.

Brain,

Was unaware of pain causing Intestines. Intestines lacking in communication skills. Will try harder in future, but was under impression you enjoyed endorphins. Shall I discontinue cravings for chocolate and similar?

Dear Stomach,

I did not say anything about chocolate. The endorphins are very much appreciated, and are necessary to the paper-writing process. Simply cut back on grease and meat cravings, and everything should be all right. I am currently discussing possibility of regular exercise with Legs, Heart, and Sweat Glands, and will notify you if we expect an increase in metabolism.

Regards,
Brain
