ladynox25"And the people went unto the coffee machine to summon forth with fire and water the essence of the grounds within. And behold, there was no coffee!
And one spake saying "This must not be. Behold! I shall take unto myself the funds we have gathered and I shall travel a long journey and when I return, I will be cashless but I will have found coffee."
And he did so and he brought back the coffee he had found unto the coffee machine. But the people had dispersed each into their own countries, and therefore he did not make coffee. And after a time, came another unto the coffee machine and found the coffee and said "Behold! There is coffee but there is no coffee! This paradox must be resolved."
And so this second one did take unto herself the filters and the coffee and with fire and water she summoned up the essence of the grounds within. And she bare forth among the people crying:
"Hear ye! Hear ye! Come ye one and all! Spread the word to far and near to all the poor decaffinated ones wailing in their lonely deserts longing for the sweet nectar of life! Tell unto them the good news, that they may despair no more! For behold! There is coffee! And there is creamer and sugar to spare! So drink and recaffinate yourselve and be glad!"
And the people rejoiced."

Better than listening to people gripe. *grin*
