You can turn the pot on, leave the room, and it'll be hot when you get back. No matter how ugly you are, you can always get a cup of coffee. Coffee doesn't mind if you wake up at 3 a.m. and decide to have a cup. No matter how bad coffee is, you can always make it better. You can always warm coffee up.

Your coffee doesn't talk to you. Coffee comes with endless refills. They sell coffee at police stations. You can smoke while drinking coffee. Coffee doesn't take up half your bed. You can make coffee as sweet as you want.

You can always ditch a bad cup of coffee. A cup of coffee looks good in the morning. A big cup or small cup? It doesn't matter. You won't fall asleep after a cup of coffee. Coffee is out of your system by tomorrow morning. You won't get arrested for ordering coffee at 3 a.m.

You can take black coffee home to meet your parents. You can have an intelligent conversation with coffee. Coffee doesn't care what kind of mood you're in. You can put out a cigarette in a cup of coffee. Your coffee won't be jealous of a another cup. When coffee gets old, you can throw it away.

Coffee is ready in 15 minutes or less. Coffee stains are easier to remove. Coffee smells good in the morning. Coffee smells always good. Coffee never runs out. Coffee is cheap. And, of course... INSTANT COFFEE!

Urban Folklore are tales that have been told throughout the world...they usually happened to "a friend of a friend's cousin". Are these stories true? Here is one...you decide.

An elderly woman, traveling by bus, had a layover during her journey. She purchased a package of Oreo cookies from a vending machine in the bus terminal and located a table. She placed her cookies on the table, sat down, and proceeded to read her newspaper.

She was joined by an odd-looking young man with a red mohawk haircut, who, to her surprise, opened the package of Oreo cookies and began to eat them.

The woman, saying nothing, but giving him an icy stare, grabbed a cookie. The young man, with a funny look on his face, ate another cookie. The woman again glared and grabbed another cookie. The young man finished the third cookie and offered the last to the woman.

Completely appalled, she grabbed the cookie and the young man left. Outraged, the woman threw down her paper only to find her unopened Oreos on the table in front of her.

"It could have happened, so it must be true!"

You Are a Little Prejudiced

You can't help but judge people a little based on your personal biases. But you tend to be aware of your prejudices, and you fight them the best you can. Most people are more like you than they'd care to admit... but it doesn't mean you shouldn't change. Remember to take each person as an individual. It's not fair to judge someone based on their background or subculture.
