something I came across and wanted to share...  







Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald their chops, and spend their money, all for a little base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking nauseous puddle water.
—The Women's Petition Against Coffee, 1674


Coffee should be black as hell, stong as death, and sweet as love!
-- A Turkish Proverb

Ha! Wonder what the Women's Petition would think of Starbucks?!


When I first read it, I thought "scald their chops" meant burn the meat. But when I saw it was from 1674, I realized no men were cooking then, & it meant burn their mouth. LOL. Kinda like misunderstood lyrics!

I dont drink much coffee and if I am drinking a simple instant coffee then it will not be black (too bitter), so with milk and sugar.

with all those abbreviations used to order coffee at Starbucks they probably wouldn't know that it was coffee...
