The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Memes that made me laugh 245
Gathered from around the Internet over the past week. Click any image for a larger view.
One of the things that baffles me is how we got the process to make coffee. There is a traditional (likely apocryphal) story that a shepherd/goat herder say his charges eat som of the coffee cherries and be frisky so he tried them. But the steps for making coffee are 1) pick ripe coffee cherries 2) remove the cherry exterior other via abrasion or letting the fruit rot off 4) take the remaining pits/seeds and roast them until they pop kind of like popcorn 5) grind the burnt cherry pits to a fine powder 6) take the powder and make an infusion with near boiling water and filter if possible as the powder makes for a rather chewy beverage
How did anyone come up with that convoluted process?

Is a cup of coffee an infusion, a broth, or a tisane?
re: last one. Coffee and chocolate are basically bean soups. Chocolate has been let to coagulate...

Wife: "Coffee has been cooked. It's a soup."

Also re the last one: the same can be said for beer. Cheers!
