| Coffee Freak |
I was reminded of this story by reading Emano's blog.
Mr Ata's best man is a bona fide coffee addict. At one point, he went to his GP complaining of headaches.
"Hmmm," said the GP. "How much coffee do you drink?"
"Ahhh...." said BM, "....six a day...."
The GP was quite horrified, and insisted that BM must cut down.
What BM had not told the GP was that his daily intake was much closer to 20 cups than 6. He was working in a lab at the time, and on arrival, would put the dripper coffee machine on. He would then chain-drink cups of coffee all day.
Which reminds me of another story. Mr Ata is known at work for his tastes for coffee (we now have a super-duper fully automatic machine) and beer (he home brews). His workmates like to tease him about it (actually, they like to tease him about just about everything. Probably because he looks much younger than his 30 years, and refuses to participate in drunken bingeing and strip clubs). On one occasion, a workmate accused Mr Ata of being an addict.
"You need the coffee to pick you up, and the beer to bring you down! You're addicted!"
"True enough," replied Mr Ata. "How do you regulate your moods?" |
