The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
Oracle, you are older and wiser than Geb, you who were there when the first turtle wore out and was replaced by the one currently holding up the Earth, you have acquired much knowledge and your are Wise.
How does coffee differ from heroin?And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
Well, with coffee, you have to heat the water... no, that's not different...
Okay, with coffee, it's picked and processed by underpaid workers in Third World... no, that's not different either...
Then, with coffee, it's traded on a world market jealously guarded by shady cartels... drat, that's no better...
Many high-performing professional people in the industrialised world cannot function effectively until they've had their first daily... BLAST.
Hang on, I've got it.
Coffee can bring you a stink to your breath, but heroin can string you to the brink of death.
Hey, you try answering these before your first hit of the day!
You owe the Oracle a bottomless cup. With cream. And that special "powdered sugar" thanks.
