    "The expression [the shit hits the fan] is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn't find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, 'Where were you when the shit hit the fan?' " [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1989]

    Forsooth, I can't quite remember the last time I felt like having a genuine idea. My stomach, which is a very nice fellow and trustable leader, usually does all the thinking for me.

    Cream and sugar?
    (Black, no sugar...is the answer. Adults shouldn't drink coffee with that crap in it. Savor the flavor of coffee. What's in creamer, what's in sweetener? And as for the latte crowd, coffee is better and no calories.) While we're talking caffeine, work green tea into your meal accompaniment.
