Very calmly and carefully, I took the lid off the sugarbowl and spooned sugar into my cup. Then I laid down the spoon, took up the coffeepot, and poured a nice, steaming cup of coffee.... into the open sugarbowl.
I am going back to bed.
That's exactly how Lovely Wife makes her coffee in the morning. Only she does it on purpose.
Posted by: Jim at April 29, 2004 06:46 AMMark, are we implying I am an old idjit?
Because only those select few who've gone underwear shopping with me are allowed to call me that.
:) you never fail to make me laugh. thanks!
Posted by: Jenn at April 29, 2004 07:24 AMSpeaking of coffee, LeeAnn, you owe me a fresh cup, because the one I had is now dripping down my monitor.

Posted by: Parkway Rest Stop at April 29, 2004 12:09 PMPRS- Too late. Can use only small words.
How. Ever. Tush very fresh now.
I did the reverse yesterday. I poured sugar into my cup and then spooned in the hot coffee. It took me a long time to figure out why it was taking the cup so long to fill up.
Posted by: Tiffany at April 29, 2004 01:11 PMAh the coffee is sweet, the tush is fresh... It's really a good thing I work at home or I'd have to explain to an office full of people why I'm laughing so hard - then they'd be laughing too and nothing would ever get done...
I can hear the business newscaster now...
Business came to a halt today as traders and business people alike checked their computers and promptly fell into paroxysms of laughter. There was no comment from the Cheesemistress as her mouth had shrunk completely closed.
Posted by: Teresa at April 29, 2004 01:13 PMYep, been there. Was sleepy enough the other morning to start pouring coffee into the baby's sippy cup.
I'm really glad I caught myself before I handed that to her...
Posted by: Linda at April 29, 2004 03:58 PMSo how was it?
Posted by: Genuine at April 29, 2004 04:52 PMGenuine- It needed more cream, I think.
Posted by: LeeAnn aka Cheesemistress at April 29, 2004 04:58 PMLord, I poured an entire carafe down the sink last week. Forgot I'd actually prepped it the night beofre. Thought I was pouring out yesterday's coffee. The fact it was steaming made no impression on me at the time.
Teresa - "the tush is fresh"? Care to expand on that theme? I'm looking for a new meme.
Posted by: Velociman at April 29, 2004 05:44 PMOne morning a few years ago I walked into s Dunkin' Donuts and ordered a large coffee with extra cheese.
This after I had already driven twelve miles.
Velociman - I was extrapolating from LeeAnn's comment about mixing Preparation H and toothpaste in one of the earlier comments... *G*
Posted by: Teresa at April 29, 2004 08:39 PMMany years ago, I would put instant coffee into the drip-style coffee maker, then find myself wondering where the grounds had vanished to after the coffee was made.....
Posted by: Dave at May 1, 2004 11:23 PMI have always considered it a cruel act of a unsympathetic god that one could be forced to make coffee before one has had coffee...as Velociman points out, even timer-made coffee is no real solution...
Posted by: Susie at May 2, 2004 08:59 AMOK, after I quit laughing my ass off, I read the comments and identified with Dave. I had made a pot of coffee at work with instant grounds, and one of my friends came up to me half an hour later and said, "don't drink the coffee -- some moron made it with instant grounds. I just made a fresh pot, so drink that." *snerk* And then she was theorizing who in the office was stupid enough to do such a thing. LOL
