I read a story in the Ensign magazine (I'm still not sure if it's a "offical" publication of the LDS church but it's close enough if it ain't) that actually told of this young Mormon* soldier going off to fight in WWII. He saw everyone else in his unit drinking coffee and then, worn down by the pressure, actually started drinking coffee. This of course opened up the door for him to start drinking alcohol and run around with loose women.

All becase he had a hot cup of joe.

*is this the word that everyone is all up in arms about?

So Coffee leads to loose women, huh? I suppose that explains the popularity of Starbucks.

Or maybe it was just because he was, you know, hanging out with a bunch of soldiers.

Do you suppose that since Christians and Muslims drink coffee, and Mormons don't, there might be some hidden connection between coffee and monotheism?
