Breakfast Order
"America lacks the decadence required for a truly great coffeehouse. But we're acquiring it, I think."

Irish Coffee:
Black coffee, sugar and Irish whiskey topped with whipped cream.
A guy comes into a coffee shop and places his order.
He says: "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights, and a pair of running boards."
The waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, goes to the kitchen and says to the cook. "This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this is, an auto parts store?"
"No" the cook says. "Three flat tires means three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards is 2 slices crisp bacon."
"Oh," says the waitress.
The waitress thinks about this and then she spoons up a bowl of beans and gives it to the customer.
The guy says, "What are the beans for?"
The waitress replies, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might want to gas up."
