Japan. I mean if I were really so Japanese

IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Oh Puleezzze. Is
there anyone who still believes in that nonsense? This is the 23rd Century!

ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU. Janice knows how to make
even a plant purr.
OF
ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO
