Coffee: FAIL!

In my continuing series on why it's really hard to make a cup of coffee in the morning before having your first cup of coffee (for previous example, see "You Know You're Not Fully Awake in the Morning When...").

As usual, I fired up my single-serving drip maker, and starting pouring in water from the kettle. Stepped away to get some cereal, and--what--it's overflowing on the countertop?!?


Oh wait....


Aw, crap. Yeah, that would explain it. I got the mug turned right side up and started over.

Sometimes I wonder whether I should legally be allowed to drive without some caffeine in my system:

"Sir, how much coffee have you had this morning?"

"Uh... none sir."

"Please step out of the vehicle, sir. I'm going to administer this breathalyzer test. ... It looks like your blood caffeine content is below the legal limit. I'll have to ask you to sit in the cruiser..."

"Whuwha?!"
