Speaking of Irrelevant:Does Dr. Nello still exist? He reminds me of an insect that lived too long but then made a contribution by reproducing right before he died (the NelloFamilyBlog). I think I heard someone say that once.

Dear Virginia:
Yes, there is a Dr. Nello. And also a Nurse Chris. I understand your confusion about our existance, though, because it (surprise!) has been awhile since our last letter response. This is because we've been waiting for our bailout. Like many other industries in 2008, we have not seen good profit returns; as a matter of fact, we've made 5% less than last year! This is obviously not due to the quality of our services, but rather because we haven't been given free money from the government yet.
We thought we had mentioned this before, but apparently we forgot, so we're saying it now. Please, give us money now, or we're just going to take it when you elect us prez and v-prez. Somewhere in the range of $20B should do.
-- Dr. N

"B" is not a number. I assume you meant, "208" as in $2.08, which I possibly can spare.
(I KNOW it stands for billion)
I thought the B meant grade B dollars. While Dr Nello may want 20 crumpled B quality dollars, I would prefer grade A. If you don't have the money, I'd take 20 grade A eggs as well.
Nurse Chris is nothing if not practical, that is part of his charm.
