</div><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>Okay, so this morning I read the above
in my cube here at work and began practicing. I had my iPod playing so I didn't
realize how loud I "practiced." After a few minutes of this, a co-worked
several cubes away stood up and said, "Are you okay? I thought you were calling
for help!" I had especially focused on the "kRaa" item. After I stopped
laughing, I explained that I was practicing my French R. Evidently I sounded
like I was choking to death! They already think I'm excentric, now I suppose
this proves it.</span></p>
