   Nick Danger: Hi, I’d like coffee, without cream.
   Waitress: I’m sorry sir, we don’t have cream. You’ll have to have your coffee without milk.

   The coffee thieves just took it because they didn’t like drinking their own. They need comprehensive coffee laws!

   Coffee infractions? The thieves are domestically-challenged. They don’t know how to make it, so they claim discrimination and workplace hostility, and just take what they want. Bwaahaahaa!

    My brother-in-law calls me a sissy for putting cream in my coffee..to him, real men drink really strong, black coffee, any “enhancer” additives are strictly for women and wimps. He does, however, make an exception, now and then ,for adding a healthy portion of Jack Daniel’s to his Joe:)

    I’m a little unclear as to the issue here. Do they each have their own coffee pots that others are stealing from? Or are these thieves taking each other’s coffee cups with some or all of the unconsumed coffee? Or are they stealing un-perked grounds out of each others can of folgers?

    I think “DON’T TAKE COFFEE THAT DOESN’T BELONG TO YOU. . .” seems a little vague as to what coffee is at risk. form a committee and get it complete and accurate. Maybe some Congressional Hearings are in order.

    All or most of them are leftists. I’m sure in their minds its all community property, so it all belongs to everybody….just as long as someone else pays for and brews it up.

    @ Doug Powers

    I like your writing, but it seems almost exclusively full of sarcasm. I don’t mind it; I understand it and find it funny. But there are a few shortcomings:

    in the future, any reader can take your words seriously…that is to say: literally.
    …unless you intend all your work someday to be taken as “well, but, I think he really meant the opposite of what he said,” you might want to work up some variety or at least a caveat to suggest what de rigeur sarcasm (too often misnamed “irony”) is today.

    I start with that because an important point seems to be missed in the “can’t see the forest for the trees” yucks:
    THIS is the BANALITY OF FASCISM
    pure and simple.

    It would be nice if someone in your position would point this out.

    Yeah, you bet, but you need a mask and snorkel to watch.

    Have you ever seen the “Black Angels” perform, which is the U.S. Navy Precision Submarine Acrobatics Team?

    Isn’t the phrase “fellow colleagues” a bit redundant?

    Oh, that’s right—it’s the government.

    Actually, after reading what you’d have to go through to report your coffee stolen, I think most people would just switch to water at that point and forget about it.

    Yeesh, just like I said. With that kind of paperwork, I wouldn’t want to report that anyone infarcted my coffee rights.

    Also, “fellow” sounds sexist.

    Dear Doug:

    Thanks for responding.
    Please note: I did say “almost exclusively.”

    More importantly, I think the point I mentioned – that this example you bring up exemplifies the banality of fascism (fascism being a sort of undesirable thing in a rather large way /s) – is left out. That is to say, the significance of oyur example.

    ‘Nuff said.
