"Yes, D.E.A.R."

I was exchanging messages with a friend who knew I had a bad week. And his closing message was, "Yes, DEAR", which got me freaked out at first, until I saw the disclaimer after the word "DEAR" - (Drop Everything And Relax).

Now, is that ingenious or what? I cannot help but smile to myself. Hopefully he does not mean it literally instead of figuratively, otherwise I will get really freaked out!
