Coffee is Health Food

That’s right! Turns out that your daily cup of Joe is rich in
health giving anti-oxidents. Scientists now believe that coffee
has the same benefits as eating a big, giant basket of
vegetables and fruits, maybe even a couple of baskets. Recent
studies have shown all of this recently.

I’ll tell you it’s quite a relief to me, since I kind of thought
that my coffee habit would’ve been considered bad and I really
wasn’t about to give it up even if Einstein had come back from
the dead and told me it caused war, famine and plague. That
would’ve been just too bad, because I’m too much of a grouch in
the morning without it.

This isn’t just a theory on my part, either. At a former job of
mine, people wouldn’t even talk to me until they had verified
that I’d had my coffee. They would come up to me with a
question, hesitate, then ask: “Have you had your coffee yet?” If
I said ‘no’ they would tell me to ‘never mind’ and walk off. It
took me a while to figure out that it was probably because I was
unbearable otherwise. After realizing this, I was hurt, and
troubled that co-workers thought I was unpleasant. Then it
occurred to me that this might not be such a bad thing, because
inevitably the question they’d be bringing me was some problem
or other and if I never admitted that I’d had coffee, they would
go away and so would the problem.

It worked like a dream. For awhile. Then they would just go get
me my coffee for me and then pester me with whatever they wanted
me to deal with.

Where I work now, I alway make the coffee in the morning. It’s
such an easy and cheap way to bring joy into so many peoples’
lives. And I’m all about joy.
