This week my brother Bill was finally discharged from the hospital so I had another long drive back to San Jose to get him settled at home. When I’m on the road I stop a lot at Starbucks for caffeine (coffee) , so here’s what I know about Starbucks and coffee:
I learned that there is a sad coffee – it’s called depresso.
I was sitting in my car outside Starbucks drinking a latte in my slippers when I thought, “They should have given me a cup.”
I went to the urgent care doctor and told her that I get a stabbing pain in my face every time I take a sip of coffee. She said to take the spoon out of my mug.
What kind of money do they use on the space station? Star-bucks.
The kid next door is like coffee – always getting grounded.
I have no problem with caffeine. I have a lot of problems without caffeine.
I was in Starbucks when someone stole my cappuccino. The Barista called the police and reported a mugging.
Never give a snake coffee – it makes them viperactive.
Paul McCartney is rumored to be working on a new song for a Starbucks commercial – Latte it Be!
I knew a guy who got fired from Starbucks for not changing the coffee filters. Turns out that’s grounds for dismissal.
A guy I knew took a first date to Starbucks. Turns out he’d forgotten her name …
I was reading about this lady who sued Starbucks. The judge threw out the lawsuit because she had no grounds.
I bought a coffee in Starbucks today. No idea what that is in Earth money.
I tried a new drink a Starbucks today, but it tasted familiar. It was a case of Deja Brew.
Years ago I was manager of an IT team and I put a sign on the coffee pot saying, “Break fluid.”

Coffee raises my heart rate, so I count a large mug of coffee as my aerobic exercise for the day.
HI Andrew, I am very happy to know your brother is out of hospital.

Great news on your brother! And yes – the wonderful “Nectar of life” as I call it: COFFEE! β€ β€ β€ I like the 'Depresso' one – but I would change it to 'Anti-Depresso' π Thank you for the smiles as always. π

Cute, Andrew! Did you regale your brother with these? I stopped going to Starbucks when an 18-yo started telling me how to live my life! Sigh.

I test all these jokes out on my brother. The louder he groans, the more likely I’ll include it. I generally only use SB when I’m on the road and need something quick. In Reno there are much better coffee places.

The “first date” joke may not be unique to Starbucks but it’s still my favorite π
