Rat says, "What's the matter with you?" Zebra says, "I got a letter from my family. A cheetah ate my favorite cousin. Ohhh, god?what a huge loss." Rat says, "Oh, gee?you know, if it's any consultation, I know how you feel." Zebra says, "You do?" Rat says, "Yeah. Yesterday I was getting coffee at 'Starbucks' and they asked if I needed room for cream, and even though I said yes, they poured the coffee to the top and I had to dump the excess coffee down that little trash hole." Zebra says, "That's not quite the same." Rat says, "Well, yeah, you're a lot more weepy than I was."
