The Buckets by Greg Cravens for October 17, 2022

1500 years ago in Ethiopia: Hmm. Look at those goats eating those beans, then frisking and frolicking. I think I’ll pick those beans, roast them in a fire, grind them into powder, pour hot water through them, throw away the beans, then drink the water.

Yugh!! That’s terrible. It will never catch on.

Wait until Eddie learns about my Nuclear Coffee

Beans are ok. Wail until you learn what “chicken” nuggets are made of.

If someone coughs on you, you will be the coughee.

Actually coffee plants produce berries.

Coffee berries are then dried out to make coffee “beans”

Actually, they’re not really beans – they’re the pits of cherries. Which really isn’t any less weird…

Interesting, we call them coffee beans, but they’re the seed of the coffee fruit, which is called a cherry, but cherries have pits (what they’re called where I come from), which are nut like. So shouldn’t they be called …

“Shut up and pour me a cup before you die horribly!”

Yes, really.

Dried, ground beans. Like chocolate.

“You spilled your what? Cof-fee. What’s that, Walt? A drink made from beans. Sure, go ahead and send some. If you can get people to stick burning leaves in their mouth, they’ll really go for those beans!” – Bob Newhart, “Introducing Tobacco to Civilization”
