Catholic: “I have a large fortune….I am going to buy Citibank!”
Protestant: “I am very wealthy and will buy General Motors!”
Muslim: “I am a fabulously rich prince…. I intend to purchase Microsoft!”
They then all wait for the Jew to speak….
The Jew stirs his coffee, places the spoon neatly on the table, takes a sip of his coffee, looks at them and casually says:
“I’m not selling…”
And THIS one is so damn true… sigh…
Of course there was NO ‘real’ coffee available this morning… NOT a good thing at 0400, and not a damn thing open… Finally got in to work, and the damn Geedunk was closed for cleaning ARRGHHHH!!!
BUT, I found a vending machine… now to find Yen… scrabbled around and found ‘enough’… Coffee in a can is better than nothing, even if it IS made by Coca Cola… sigh

I’m strange. I like my caffeine like I enjoy my revenge: chilled. Monster and Rock Star.

And by the way, the new Blooger word verification sucks.
If you’ve tried it, you know it.
BZ
I’m with Bloviating Zeppelin HATE the new word verification system …
oh and lol at the jewish joke and sympathise on your coffee situation – our coffee machine at work has been broke for a couple of days now 🙁
Oh, I sympathize with you about the coffee. I’m about to go get a nice, hot cup of fresh-brewed Peet’s. Sorry.
Guess the end of the world as we know it is at hand. The Navy without coffee?
Coffee in a can? Oh ick.
Stealing the coffee poster for work.
BZ- Not me, I can’t do cold… And yes it DOES suck!
Julie- Concur
Anne- Go ahead, rub it in… 🙂
WSF- Yeah, that and my timing sucking hind tit… again!
PH- It works… not well, but it works!
Ed- Feel free!
Boy did you strike a memory!
Wife and I went to visit friends who were very proud of the “coffee” they served abundantly every morn.
In the afternoon we both had splitting headaches and felt listless. The next day it was worse… in spades. We finally asked, “decaf?” and got an affirmative answer. We immediately went and bought our own brand and insulted our hosts by asking them to brew it for us.
Headaches gone.
GB- Yep, I ‘know’ that feeling… or should I say headache…sigh
It’s sub-optimal, but have you tried carrying those “tea bag” types of coffee. They’re aren’t as bad as C-rat coffee and better than doing without.
I keep a few pouches with me when traveling. If I have to use them, I can get new ones at any grocery (in the U.S. anyway).
Also, it’s a shame the Navy Department got rid of “Rocks and Shoals”. The UCMJ doesn’t have an article for “Failure to have Lifer Juice available at all times”
Don- I ‘did’, but I used em… and yeah, Rocks and Shoals works for me! 🙂
OK, you vant joke, sonny, I give you joke.
A priest, a minister and a rabbi made up the entire clergy of a very small town – in fact, they lived within three houses of one another. None of them could afford a private car but they decided that they could buy one car together and use it on different days of the week and everyone would be happy.
The priest said, Well, I think that sicne God has given us this opportunity, we should each do soemthing in our own tradition, to give thanks!
So the priest came out with a bottle of holy water and splashed the car in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritu Sancti.
The minister walked around the cr, laid hands on it and blessed it for the service of the Lord.
Then the rabbi went into his house, came out with a hack saw and cut an inch off the tailpipe.
