Gee, I usually only want to kill somebody BEFORE I’ve had my coffee, not after.

If this works then I’m staying away from Starbucks with all those crazed murderers lurking about!
To: Free ThinkerNY
Of course, my favorite blog was
on this a long time ago:
The Starbucks Theory of Mass Insanity For the first time in months, we discovered that even hardcore coffee drinkers might not be able to finish a small (that's English for "small") cup of Starbucks coffee.
And this undeniable fact, along with that potent brew, gave birth to a hypothesis: Starbucks expanded out of Seattle, and went public, in the 1990's.
Since then, the world has gone stark raving mad, hasn't it?
Just a coincidence?

So he is saying that the soda made him dew it?

I can’t think straight in the morning until I’ve had a cup of coffee.

He should have just told them he was drunk as a skunk and doesn’t remember a thing. I’m sure they would have let him go then.
