Swiss quit stockpiling coffee

Switzerland announced plans to abolish the nation’s emergency stockpile of coffee after declaring the beans not vital for human survival, though opposition to the proposal is brewing. Nestle, the maker of instant coffee Nescafe, and other importers, roasters and retailers are required by Swiss law to store bags of raw coffee. The country stockpiles other staples, too, such as sugar, rice, edible oils and animal feed. This system of emergency reserves was established between World War I and World War II as Switzerland prepared for any potential shortages in case of war, natural disaster or epidemics.

How are good men like coffee? The best ones are rich, hot, and can keep you up all night!

Instead of going to Starbucks, I make coffee at home, mispronounce my own name as loudly as possible, then burn a $5 bill as a sacrifice.

Waitress: “Would you like your coffee black?” Customer: What other colors do you have?”

Looking at the menu, I asked the waiter, “What is the blended coffee?” He answered, “Today’s and yesterday’s.”
