Profundity

Internets, I am a coffee person. Lotsa kick, smells good, warms frozen heart-cockles. But every once in awhile I go for a booster shot of tea, like this morning when the double latte failed to clear the cobwebs. I don't ask a lot of tea -- just get in the cup, go down in a few gulps, try not to stain anything. So it is unspeakably annoying to have to read little cute-ass things on the outer wrapper of this Fair-Trade Certified, Organic ya ya ya, such as today's gem: "Each river ends in a world of oceans." Spare me the Zen Master bullshit, wouldja please? You don't see the fucking Coke can talking that kind of smack.

Starbucks coffee cups have "philosophy" (or something) on the outside.

But if you use a cardboard sleeve, you don't have to see it. Ta da! :-)

Maybe it's time we started writing our own bon mots, then covertly place them on tea labels around the country. Here's one to get you started: "Tea is sublime. Teabag, divine."
