funny, must have been prety bad if he couldn't tell
David K. Oct 20, 2007, 10:43am EDT
Perhaps this is why I don't drink coffee :)
Vivian P. Oct 20, 2007, 11:30am EDT
sound like a bad cup of something

I saw this one the other day somewhere else and I was thinking about what could be the real meaning. I mean he was the president for God's sake! You think he would know what he ordered. ;-)

Yeah, I'd like to know what was going on or what his thinking was for him to say this. Indecisive moment maybe?
David K. Oct 20, 2007, 1:18pm EDT
I think he simply didn't like the cup of coffee.
David S. Oct 20, 2007, 1:45pm EDT
Really good.
J R B. Oct 20, 2007, 1:46pm EDT
Sounds like the Restaurant trying to get rid of the old coffee.
Kathy D. Oct 20, 2007, 2:19pm EDT
Funny
Marilyn M. Oct 20, 2007, 2:49pm EDT
I made a pot of coffee like that one time. :-)

Thanks for the giggle.

Abe was such a suave fella, right down to his criticisms of a beverage.
ChrisJerri S. Oct 20, 2007, 8:15pm EDT
Sounds a lot like Mark Twain as well.

Are we seeing a peculair side of Mr. Lincoln here??
David K. Oct 21, 2007, 11:31am EDT
