[Wonderful Labs] CHOCK FULL O' WONDER

Dear Mister Wonderful,

	Why can't you re-use coffee grounds?

Your humble fan,
The Sleepy Recycler

Dear Do Juan Juan,

	Well, you *can*... it just means your coffee will taste like it's
already been through the cat.

	And believe me: Mister Dark's feline companions have seen to it that I
know of what I speak.  Those little furry dickens are *constantly*
stealing into the kitchens on tiny cats' feet to take the used grounds
out of the French press, dry them out, and put them back in the freezer.

	I wouldn't mind, except that Mister Malice is often "King Grumplestein"
in the mornings; piss-poor coffee moves him to release the polar bears.

	You may wonder, however, *why* coffee loses its darkhot jetfuel
excellence after only one pass with the excited molecular trio of H2 and
O.  Why does it give up the caffeine ghost so easily?  Is it the condom
of the hot beverage world - a one-use pony, designed for obsolescence by
Colombian genetic scientists intent on marketing the Trojan Espresso,
"Thirty Seconds of Steam is All She Needs"?  Most likely not.  But we
can dream.

	Actually, we can't.  I don't know about you, but I haven't slept since
Ash Wednesday and the blue gremlins keep darting behind the
rhododendrons when I try to point them out to Miss Yakamoto.  Clearly,
Nature cares for her children.  If coffee never lost its potency then
I'd never run out and hence the authorities would have no choice but to
send in the planes to get me and my bride off the Empire State Building.

Mister Wonderful Recommends: Bass-playing poets.  A bass player recently
told me that the bass is the low-end; it's the sex vibe of the musical
seraglio.  And poets are sexfreaks already, so, y'know.  It's a lickable
library!  We also recommend licking librarians.

	"By attaching a canned credibility
	track to the speeches of the
	President, and the secretaries of
	Defense and State, we can at last
	remove all reason to doubt their
	truths when they're not telling
	them.  Once a consensus on truth
	is established, the American people
	will, as always, go along."
