Hey Random swearing is the best part.

 

You left out all the beer drinkin'!

 

Sorry, don't do beer. Mountain Dew or coffee for me.

 

too funny bro!

thanks for the info. I'll try it but I'd have to agree the beer is almost important as the car jack in this operation!


BOTTOMS UP!

 

I'd laugh if I saw someone working on a car and had a little dixie cup drinking coffee. Could see that, middle of the night, "Hey, you took all the creamer!"

 

I dunno, yo. I don't really see Random as the kinda guy that puts creamer into his coffee. Seems more of the kinda guy that likes his coffee like he likes his women: hot, dark, and with a spoon in them.

Alternative punchline: ...likes his coffee like he likes his women: hot, fresh, and free with a Grand Slam Breakfast @ Denny's.

...likes his coffee like he likes his women: dark, mysterious, and with two lumps.

 

Hey guys I like my coffee like I like my women cold and bitter.

 

I like my like my coffee. Black as hell, strong as death, and bitter like your last romance.

My women,...that's another story! I'm a sucker for RedHeads...just don't tell SharkAri.
