That explains why I’m the only one in the office who knows I have an assistant, and why he’s not back yet with the coffee I sent him to get.

> Do yours sound like Howler Monkeys too?

I don’t hear those ones as often as the ones that tell me that I am a great General and Emperor.

But it’s the whisperer’s that bother me ....

High caffeine users may even think they sense non-existent people

Maybe Obama is just a national hallucination.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Me too—I’m embarassed to say it but I probably have 12 to 15 cups a day. I should be seeing pink elephants.

[Dixie Yooper]

Is someone trying to drive up the price of coffee?

[mmichaels1970]

Meep!

Thank you....honestly....thank you. :)

[theDentist]

Well, I don't mind my whisperer...

... 'specially when she's feeling 'naughty'.

[sitetest]

Duh.

Why do I think this thread might be very active?

[BibChr]

The floating green faces tell me this is a load of crap.

people who drink more than seven cups of instant coffee a day have an increased tendency to hallucinate. . . .

People who drink more than seven cups of INSTANT coffee are nuts already!

Me, I only drink real coffee. And I haven't had any yet this morning! Why, I was just talking to my friend Harvey about this--you've met Harvey, haven't you? Big tall rabbit? So I was saying to Harvey, I said, "Hey, we haven't had our usual vat of coffee yet today, big fella. . . ."

[trebb]

I was talking to Eleanor Roosevelt the other day and who should show up but Hillary . . .

She like totally took over the conversation.

[Ditter]

Oh good grief! I drink 6 cups of instant coffee every morning and....... what is Hugh Jackman doing pounding on my front door? He must want to see my fabulous body again. Oh Hugh you are becoming tiresome, Mr. Ditter is going to kick your a$$!

[dforest]

My ex was like that....but he didn’t drink much coffee.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time. —Steven Wright

Cause or effect?

Schizophrenics drink a lot of coffee and smoke a lot of cigarettes.

A study has already confirmed that the tobacco is a form of self medications. The nicotine helps them manage symptoms. I wouldn’t be supprised if there is a similar effect with caffeine.

[unkus]

I quit after 65 cups.

[Deaf Smith]

That’s very disturbing, Ozzy. :(
