[ARC5] Coffee - bad?

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

When I was in the Navy serving aboard ships I was always below decks 
living among running diesels, boilers, and evaporator plants. Aboard one 
ship the 30 cup percolator (for 3 men) was on my work table. When the 
coffee stopped bubbling up through the glass bulb on top I notified the 
other two guys on my watch. We started drinking coffee. It was hot there 
and occasionally the coffee would bubble up through that glass a time or 
two. It never occurred to us to remove the coffee grounds. By the end of 
the watch the coffee was so strong, if you spilled it on the deck you 
could pick it up and put it back in the cup. The boilerman was squeamish 
and scrubbed his spilled coffee with soap and water before putting it 
back in the cup! I haven't had bad coffee since <evil grin>.

I need coffee in the morning just to find my radios!

73,
