Besides, the wonders of modern science have exposed coffee for what it
really is:  a prehistoric attempt to approximate Coca-Cola.  Naturally,
given the limitations of the techniques used, it's not a very good
approximation, and the result is a foul-tasting mess that's barely
drinkable if served scalding hot or mixed heavily with cream and sugar.

Sounds like your friends still have some faith in you, Dwayne.  Now, if
they thought you were Genghis Khan, that would be bad, but Genghis Kahn
is a nice old guy, even if he is a bit grouchy when one of his grandsons
forgets to wear a yarmulke.
