Phillip's Phunnies: Coffee

A merry heart does good, like medicine... - Proverbs 17:22

Today we will look at the topic of COFFEE. Yes, for many, their morning cup(s) of coffee is indeed a necessary religious ritual and spiritual experience. Many cannot walk in the Spirit without the aid of a little Java. Coffee goes by many names and serves many purposes, and so we will look at a few phunnies, understanding all the while that this is a VERY SERIOUS TOPIC for many addicts, ummmm, I mean coffee drinkers.


I will start by saying that I have already been accused by close friends of violating one of the Ten Commandments. Which? Well, they say that the way I drink coffee is downright sinful. In fact, they go so far as to say that I ADULTERATE my morning concoction by adding a little coffee to my cream and sugar! So apparently, when the Bible says, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" a few friends (they are PASTORS!) believe that coffee falls under the protection of this commandment!

Of course, since this is a humourous article, I must note that this particular pastor friend has a very dark sense of humor, at least when it comes to coffee. He likes it BLACK - the BLACKER the BETTER! And he drinks is all day long year round.


In studying the wide world of coffee we find that there are many names for types of coffee. Latte, Cappuchino, Espresso....

and then there are the sizes you can order cups of coffee in - note, there is no small! There is regular, medium, and large or grande, venti, and uber.
Anyway, what is a latte?
Is that French?

And that reminds me, have you seen these vintage coffee posters?
