   Nice exchange.   
      
   Thanks for the laughs guys.   
      
   And would they would be: ~weekly morale meetings~? (:   
      
   Cheers.   
      
   Rimmer: Gentlemen, thank you for attending the meeting.  Now, let   
     me begin by saying that it can't have escaped anyone's attention   
     that things have been getting rather strained around here of   
     late.  It's no secret that morale is on the floor.  We've lost   
     all trace of Red Dwarf, tempers are strained, and supplies are   
     low.  So, I've decided, if it's all right with you, to appoint   
     myself morale officer, and set myself the task of raising the   
     spirits and improving the atmosphere all 'round.  Now, to kick   
     off, I thought it would be productive if we all met once a week   
     and have a coffee or a beer, whatever's your poison, and get any   
     problems we may have off our chests.  Any objections?   
      
   Lister and Cat look at each other and agree.   
      
   Kryten: Sounds like a very good idea, sir.   
   Rimmer: Well, as it's week one, why don't I start?  Do you know   
     what it is about Lister that really makes me want to puke?  That   
     really makes me want to stab him in both eyes with an icepick?   
     Everything, that's what.  Especially his godawful chirpy gerble-   
     faced optimism.  And as for the Cat, what an unbelievable git.   
     And Kryten, if he doesn't change pronto, I swear I'll attach   
     jump-leads to his nipple-nuts and fry him like a cajun catfish.   
     Well, I think that's cleared the air.  I don't know about you   
     but I certainly feel better.  And thank you for your   
     contributions, gentlemen.  See you at next week's morale   
     meeting.  Marvellous! (Goes up the stairs)   
   Lister: Good meeting.
