Coffee Prayer
Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze. 
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses. 
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake. 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction, 
I will fear no Equal (tm):
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me. 
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez: 
Thou annointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life: and 
I will dwell in the House of ....... for ever.
(I need to find out where I got this from. Any help is appreciated so that proper credit can mentioned.)

Her: Yes, I'd like a milk with some coffee in it. 
 
Me: So, that's just a splash of coffee in a milk? 
 
Her: No, a regular amount of milk, but not coffee. 
 
Me: Is there more milk or coffee? 
 
Her: Oh, definitely more coffee. 
 
Me: So that's a coffee with some extra milk. 
 
Her: Just the usual amount of milk. 
 
Me: A coffee with milk. 
 
Her: Yes. 
 
Me: Anything else? 
 
Her: A little extra milk and do you have coffee with no caffeine?
 
Me: We do have decaf. 
 
Her: No, I don't want decaf, just some coffee without the caffeine.
 
Me: Ma'am, that's what decaf means, no caffeine. 
 
Her: Oh, then do you have milk with no caffeine? 
 
Me: Milk doesn't come with caffeine. 
 
Her: Yes it does. 
 
Me: Not that I know of, where do you get your milk? 
 
Her: It doesn't say caffeine free on the milk so it must have caffeine. 
 
Me: Oh, you're right, my mistake, I forgot that we only get the decaf milk. 
No problem, we have only decaf milk. Anything else? 
 
Her: Do you have any bagels? 
 
Vinnie: (who has been listening all along) I'm sorry, ma'am, we're all out 
of decaf bagels. 
 
Her: Oh, well, then I'll have one of those, with sesame seeds. 
 
Vinnie: We're all out, ma'am. 
 
Her: Well what are those? (pointing at sesame bagels) 
 
Vinnie: Those are sesame doughnuts with extra caffeine added. 
 
Her: I guess I'll just have the coffee. Do you take credit cards? 
 
Me: No ma'am, cash only. 
 
Her: What about Visa? 
 
Me: Is that a credit card? 
 
Her: Well, yes. 
 
Vinnie: Is it cash? 
 
Her: No.
 
Vinnie: Then no, we can't take it. 
 
Her: What about checks? 
 
Me: Cash ma'am, nothing else. 
 
Her: Okay. How much is that? 
 
Vinnie: Eleven dollars and 45 cents. 
 
Her: Really? 
 
Vinnie: New war in Alaska is ruining the coffee business, plus you wanted 
the coffee with no caffeine, that's hard to find now, had to grow it 
myself. 
 
Her: Okay. (proceeds to write a check) 
 
Vinnie: Please leave.
 
Her: Why? 
 
Vinnie: You're raising my blood pressure, leave now. 
 
Her: But what about my coffee? 
 
Vinnie: Leave and never return.
 
She leaves, but pays the $11.45 first.


Hot is Hot and Cold is Cold - things don't always work the way we think they might.

One day Joe was walking across a building site and saw his foreman pouring coffee from a Thermos flask.

"What's that you've got there foreman?" Joe asked.

"A Thermos Flask," said the foreman.

"And what does that do?" says Joe.

"Well," said the foreman, "if you put anything hot in it, then it stays hot, and if you put anything cold in it, then it stays cold."

"That's fantastic!" said Joe. "I must get myself one of those."

The next day Joe sat eating his lunch when his friend Mick came in.

"What's that there Joe?" asked Mick.

"A Thermos Flask," replied Joe.

"And what does that do?" asked Mick.

"Well," said Joe, "if you put anything hot in it, then it stays hot, and if you put anything cold in it, then it stays cold".

"That's marvelous," Mick exclaimed. "And what have you got in there now?"

"Well," said Joe, "I've got two cups of coffee and an ice-cream."


A long time ago, I read this in Traveller's Tale section of the Far Eastern Economic Review, maybe 10 year ago.  Somehow I managed to find this piece, and it is worth the read. Supposedly a true event. Have fun. I had a good laugh.
