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

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. . . ."

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.

It's not usually that bad, except when they start to engage you in conversation:
