So, yes, this professor went in one.
Just because, mind you.
I wanted a tea.
Some sort of green tea, in fact.
Coffee places should have such things, I reasoned. After all, what’s the difference between tea and coffee, I further reasoned. One is a leaf, the other is a bean.
Very close.
They practically look like twins.
Anyways, walked through the front door, I did.
No, I’m not trying to be like Yoda.
Who actually, interestingly enough, now that you brought it up, blamed this Jedi Temple massacre on the dangerous blue lightsaber, instead of the Sith behind it.
Not to say Sith are bad.
Anyways and some more…where wuth I?
Oh yes, so I went in the store.
“Hello there,” I said.
I got in line, see.
And since I made it through the door before the stampede, I was first in line.

“What’ll you have?”
“Some sort of tea, I think.”
There was a pause times a half a pause.
“Yes…?” she prompted.
“What kind do you have?”
Rude gesture: Her thumb went up to the menu behind her.
“No good,” I said, “too confusing, see. What sorts of green tea do you have?”
“We’re a coffee place.”
“But aren’t coffee and tea related?”
She made a face. “Who told you that?”
“Some close relative, now that I think on it.”
“The point is that’s ridiculous.”
“That you don’t have green tea?”
She sighed. “I never said that. But since we’re a coffee house, we only have one type of green tea. Would you like it?”
“What sort of green tea is it?”
“It’s green tea.”
“Yes, but you said it was a type.”
A few exasperated sighs here. “Yes, that’s right, it’s a certain kind of green tea. There’s different kinds.”
“What kind do you have?”
That got her real cranky.
“Look, do you want it or not?”
“You know what, I think I’ll pass.”
And I left.
I just wasn’t feeling it.
Moral: Know what you want before you ask for it.
Aw. Gee. Thank you. Compliments are always welcome, no matter what the sort!
The Punchy Lands!
