Scene:  I am standing in front of the coffee display at Quick Check  (sometimes called, by me, Slow Check) trying to decide which to try.

There is a Quick woman behind the display.  She is in charge of  coffee. The dispensers are all on timers, so the coffee can be fresh, so she has to stay on top of the situation.  The competition is stiff what with Wawa nearby, down the Rt. 33 road to the Ocean; as opposed to the yellow brick road to Oz.

The Quick lady is observing my indecision.  I can tell you one thing, I will never drink that sissy flavored coffee.

Me:  Hmmmmmmm?

She: Why don’t you choose the coffee with extra caffeine?

Me: Why?

She:  You can get a buzz.

Me:  Why do I want a buzz?

She: You will enjoy it.

Me: I won’t get buzz from that coffee; I will get a rapid heart beat.

She: No you won’t.

Me:  Are you a cardiologist?

She: No. You are so serious.

Me: I select the regular blend and pass on the buzz.

She: Have good day.

ELTON JOHN  from his 40th anniversary celebration of this album “Yellow Brick Road,” one of the most famous albums in music history

“So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough.”
