Your veal cutlet gets up off the plate, It walks down to end of the counter and beat the shit out of my cup of coffee. I guess the coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself.

I used to think of that line in Allen Ginsberg’s ‘Howl’, about the ‘sad cup of coffee’.. ..I have had cold coffee and hot coffee and lousy coffee, But I’ve never had a sad cup of coffee.
Robert Rauschenberg
There's some serious pockets of humanity in this country. Go to any of these truck stops in the middle of nowhere, you meet some serious folk, man. Order coffee, the guy behind the counter goes, "You want the 32-ounce or the large?" Geez, how big is that large? "You'll wanna pull your car around back. I'll start the pump". That's a lot of f**king coffee, I don't know if I want to be awake that long in Tennessee.
