B Dear, dear! Thats very nice, but would you like a cup of something?

A Yes, just half a cup though.

A Well coffee is quite often grown in South Africa, where they have an
appalling human rights record.

B So just what do you want?

A Well, I just want people of all nations to live together in peace and harmony.

B No!

DO YOU WANT COFFEE OR TEA?

A Yes.

B But which one?

A Whichever is closest to hand.

B Ive got a rather large tea caddy in one hand and a very heavy coffee jar in
the other hand. One could say theyre both very close to hand, and the police
could say theyre both blunt instruments. SO MAKE A DECISION!

A Umm, Ill have Ill have coffee.

B Coffee. Right. Fine. Hoorah. We have a decision. Making the coffee.

A But only if its decaffeinated.

B Aaahhhh.. exits
