I came across this Dilbert strip today, which made me laugh since I’m that guy now, the one that covers his coffee mug and says “Decaf please” at the neighborhood diner (to which a part of me feels like I have to rise up and defend myself, beat my chest and say “Oh yeah, well I sleep better than anyone I know - so there!” The other part of me wonders when was the last time I used the word “diner” in a sentence, and if people will imagine me as some sort of Sam Spade character, hunched over a cup of joe at the local diner, trying to determine if the vixen that wanted my help was a helpless victim or just part of a terrible ruse)…
Death before Decaf!!!
I couldn’t do it. I gave up caffeine for Lent this year and it almost killed me. My productivity at work took a nose-dive. I did everything I could to compensate for the lack of ‘motivation’ but nothing worked. I’m a junkie. Normally, after I fast from something I don’t go back to it with the same ferver that I had before the fast. Coffee was different. I was thrilled to have a cup of joe on Easter morning.
As for the sleep–
There’s a marquee in town that states it perfectly, “Sleep is a poor substitute for coffee.”
That is good!
Very funny!! I agree with Dan.
Decaf coffee?? (an oxymoron)
