quiet embarrassment just as Sir Alexander Haig had become after World War One

"I am in control, here, in the White House..."

Not the same guy, right? ;-)

Discussing coffee, our industrial-sized coffee maker here in the lab has been out of service since last Friday. Nerves are fraying. This is the most important piece of equipment here and we can't get it serviced until today...

Ooops.....Freudian slip. It seems I couldn't keep my embarrasing Haigs straight. :-)

That should have read "Field Marshal Sir Douglas 'Butcher' Haig" of Passchendaele fame.

Nerves frayed from lack of coffee? Uh oh, do you know what that means?????

YOU KNOW YOU DRINK TOO MUCH COFFEE WHEN....

Juan Valdez named his donkey after you.

You speed walk in your sleep.

You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.

You have to watch videos in fast-forward.

The only time you're standing still is during an earthquake.

You can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer.

You chew on other people's fingernails.

The nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse.

Cocaine is a downer.

All your kids are named "Joe."

Your only source of nutrition comes from "Sweet & Low."

You don't sweat, you percolate.

You go to AA meetings just for the free coffee.

You walk twenty miles on your treadmill before you realize it's not plugged in.

You've built a miniature city out of little plastic stirrers.

People get dizzy just watching you.

Starbucks owns the mortgage on your house.

Your taste buds are so numb you could drink your lava lamp.

Your birthday is a national holiday in Brazil.

You go to sleep just so you can wake up and smell the coffee.

Your Thermos is on wheels.

Your lips are permanently stuck in the sipping position.

You have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug.

You can outlast the Energizer bunny.

You short out motion detectors.

You don't tan, you roast.

You introduce your spouse as your "Coffeemate."

You think CPR stands for "Coffee Provides Resuscitation."

When someone asks, "How are you?", you reply: "Good to the last drop."
