It was Saturday morning a week ago when the wife and I attended an estate sale for fun as is our usual routine while seeking treasures to sell for profit . It was a bust as there was very little there of interest to me as a re seller but suddenly … there it was .
A well known brand 12 cup coffee maker sat alone on a table still unused and in it’s original unopened box and packaging with a very attractive sticker on it informing me that it could be had for just $ 15 dollars .
” But it’s only $ 15 Hon, we can put it away for the future ” was my lament when the wife told me we really don’t need it . I guessed she was right since our present coffee maker was purchased rather recently and so we left it behind for some other fortunate soul. I love my coffee , always have and it’s been a morning ritual for more decades than I care to admit . I always set up the coffee maker the night before so that all I have to do is wake up and press the ON button as I walk past on my way to the computer to start the day .
On Monday morning after ten minutes on the internet I noticed an odd silence that could only mean one thing , and that being that the coffee maker had brewed its very last cup on Sunday morning . I will admit it did bother me to think that at that moment some prick was probably enjoying a cup he’d just brewed on his newly purchased $ 15 dollar coffee maker .
Coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc and just so’s ya know …
I don’t give eeffoc until I’ve had my coffee
