Just to prove that coffee quips come in all shapes and sizes.
Psychological: Even the stain on the coffee cup seems not coffee but the physical manifestation of one's inner stain, the fatal blot that from the beginning had marked one for ultimate aloneness. Jane Fonda
Anatomical: I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge. Jennifer Lopez
Intellectual: Science is, on the whole, an informal activity, a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers. George Porter, British Scientist
Humoresque: If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning. Mae West
Confused: If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee. Abraham Lincoln
Really confused: I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon. Ronald Reagan
LOL, JR, yeah I'm sure you're right. But it sounded funnier to me to use it as a lead-in to Ronnie's confusion.
Vicki, that quote taken out of context sounds pretty whacked, doesn't it? I think it's from a book, but I'm not sure. The sentences preceding, which I left out, talk about how you feel when you lose a loved one, or they leave you, or something like that.

I don't think Abe was confused at all! I think he was telling whoever made the coffee OR tea that it was not to his liking! LOL
