Coffee Story
Drinking coffee at IHOP last night, I was reminded of a story Mike's dad, Ray, told. Ray is a world renowned geophysicist, though you wouldn't know it to talk to him.
One day, several years ago, a small group of Italian geophysicists were visiting the US and he was giving them a tour of his facility and the surrounding city. Everywhere they went, they ordered coffee and complained about the quality (to the group, I assume, not to the waitstaff). Finally, Ray's curiosity got the best of him and he asked "If it's so bad, why do you keep ordering it?"
One of the Italians responded, "Well, it's terrible, really. But they give you as much as you want!"
