I did a bad thing today.  I wasted coffee.  Not only that, it was someone else's coffee.  Worse than that, it was at work.  Bad enough that my knitting time at work has gone bye-bye, now I have to tortue my co-worker by spilling his coffee.
I sat in it.
Who puts coffee on a low table in a room with no chairs?! 
Rather than die of embarassment (and a rather painful burn), I turned to humor.  A great defense mechanism, especially when you beat others to the punch. 
Me: "Hey, I don't think you want your coffee anymore!"
Him: "Why?"
Me: "Cause you'll have to wring it out of my pants!"
Our boss: "Oh, that sounded just terrible!"
Having entered by bloodstream in a roundabout fashion (yes, there's a potential insult there; leave it be), the coffee revved up my brain and made it conclude that rapid-fire weirdness was in order.
"The best part of waking up is Folger's in your butt!  We know it wasn't Taster's Choice; that's a flavor we can live without.  So, what kind was it?  N'assCafe?  No.  Eight O'Crotch?  Nuh-uh.  It was Cheek Full O' Nuts!"
I retreated to the corner with a fresh cup of coffee and a fan.  Tomorrow I will remember to seek before I sit.  Behold before I burn.  Most importantly...
I must not waste coffee.
I must not waste coffee.
I must not waste coffee.
I must not waste coffee.
I must not waste coffee...

Did you then sit in the cream or do you take yours black?
Ouch! Humour---the great face-saver!
