A guy walks into a coffee shop and asks the waitress: “How much is the coffee?”
“Coffee is four dollars the waitress says”.
“How much is a refill?” the man asks.
“Free, “says the waitress.
“Then I’ll take a refill!” the man responds.

Interesting Fact: Coffee is the second most traded commodity on earth. According to the Global Exchange, there are approximately 25 million farmers in over 50 countries involved in producing coffee. The number one commodity? Oil. ( http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/diet-nutrition/a30303/facts-about-coffee/ )

    interesting fact: coffee production, like any other mass production, produces millions of enslaved, impoverished, underpaid people. if you’re going to drink coffee you should source free trade, fair trade coffee.
