Don't be too embarrassed. We're all entitled to a meltdown now and again, especially when a major phobia rears up and makes itself know. Those who love you understand and don't think any less of you.

And it's almost time for you to go home. Only about two more hours--then you can stop and get some delicious Luby's (just make sure to chew on the other side of your mouth).

To cheer you up, I will tell you a joke.

A man walks into a bar carrying a newt. The bartender asks the man the name of the newt, and the man replies, "Tiny." "That's interesting," says the bartender. "But why Tiny?"

The man says, "Because he's my newt."

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
