Coffee, Beer and Longevity

[exif id="35934"]

My grandparents lived long lives and loved coffee. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was a young child. I didn’t realize I was extending my life with each sip. In recent years I’ve discovered craft ale. I’m adding more years to my life with each pint of New England IPA. If I drink a coffee cream stout will I extend my life some more?

Fresh-Brewed Tales

( )

I am not going to spoil the punchline.

I think the stories on Jeff Gamet's Fresh-Brewed Tales website are hilarious. My favourite two, so far, is Ass Boy. Double Latte, Please and The Misadventure of Old Hair Guy. Those two had me laughing uncontrollably. I rushed into the bathroom to read them to my wife while she showered. I had a hard time reading without laughing. Explore the website.
