After seeing the new movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" & not recognizing any of my relatives; I got to thinking how far we've come as a Species - when it comes to choosing our Addiction of Choice.
And why is it that we need to be carrying our Liquid Binky wherever we go? What Wusses! Back in the day; they carried Spears!
No one who swills it, thinks Coffee Drinking is an addiction; they treat it like it's a Morning Beverage; like Bosco! That's why there's no "Anonymous Meetings" yet either. And if there was one; everyone would be carrying an empty mug around; just for security! You know; like Smokers do with an unlit cigarette in their mouths.
Mark my words; it won't be long before customers of Starbucks & their imitators will be secretly drinking cups in "Speakeasy's" & sold by Prescription!
That's right; for those who never saw the movie "Some Like It Hot"; a "Speakeasy" was an unlicensed Saloon. Some were operated by people who were part of Organized Crime - you know; like the Government!
And you don't want Government in The Coffee Business - it could go up to $10 an ounce! Next thing you know; Citizens would be making their own in the Bathtub!
Me? I'm all right; but my eyes stay open when I sneeze! And I have a picture of my coffee mug ON MY COFFEE MUG! I'm an optimist; I'm waiting for Water Fountains with Coffee in them!
COFFEE BAGGERS
"Wait a minute - I almost have your Password"!
"I'll try "Bi" one time"!
"I think my Bra Strap just broke"!
"I eat Saucers too"!
"I wager he hadn't had his Coffee yet"!
"No more On-line Dating - which "Starbucks" did you say"?
"What are you looking at - I just had a "Trenta"!
"You guessed it - gonna see the Ex-Wife"!
And, "No, I'm on a Die....1 Coffee with Sweet & Low please"!

Have you seen the two charts that some group dedicated to telling you how to live your life is putting around? One shows how much time you shorten your life by smoking each cigarette and the other does the same for coffee drinking. I worked out all my consumption over the years. Turns out I’v been dead since ’98.
Hold on a sec......gotta grab another cuppa and light up....
