For years I always told folks when they would ask if I needed cream/sugar; "Nope, my Daddy always told me 'Drink it black or drink it somewhere else'."
About age 55 I was having breakfast with my Father who was around 80 and the waitress asked if I needed cream or sugar. I said, "Nope, my Daddy here always always told me to drink it black or drink it somewhere else." My Dad looked at me and said, "I never even heard that before."
Told my wife the story and she stated, "See, I told you, you always make stuff up."
Anyways, I drink coffee BLACK . . . regardless of what my Dad and Wife say . . .
