YOUR COFFEE BETTER BE GOOD

When your building is shaped like a coffee pot. But why did they have to ruin it with the advertisements for beer, wines, and liquors? No qualms about the drive through window, but they sold out on the advertisement.

I've written about coffee before. Maybe because I usually have a steaming cup as I'm blogging. Thus, my early post times. If I post later, there'll be no coffee. It only touches my morning lips.

Like a good cook never measures, I, a coffee maker for years, don't count scoops. I just shake it out of the bag and know when to stop. If it's too strong, I just tough it out because I like it strong. If it's too weak, it won't be the next morning.

Good friend and former fellow teacher Coach D made coffee for the Athletic Dept while I helped make it for the Teachers' Lounge. One day for whatever crazy reason, Coach DeForest thought a jock strap should be placed inside the industrial type coffee pot. I'm sure it was brand new, but when he complained of the taste that morning and opened the top of the pot, he carefully fished out the supporter.

Those non-coffee drinkers laughed the loudest and longest, I'm sure. As for the prankster, he received a milk shake from AD Noble Thomas. Mr. Thomas, one of the strongest humans ever, milk shaked Ron by picking him up, turning him upside down in mid-air and shaking him up and down with his nose precariously close to the ground. Mr. Thomas was nearing 6o years of age at the time. Coach D, 6'1'', 175 pounds.

The stuff legends are made of.
