Marriage, coffee at home is answer

Published 9:11 pm Sunday, October 10, 2010

To the baristas that called us “high and mighty,” all I can say is that you little girls might be surprised what some of us fat old baristas can brew up at home. A man doesn’t run to the Volkswagen dealership if he has a Cadillac parked in the garage. And the whipped cream that we make is the real thing, honey — homemade, not the phony stuff you squirt all over your little, well, lattes.

And regarding the Friday letter, “Is this really our biggest concern?” I see the writer’s point — let’s not judge the “poor” girls. After all, they’re just trying to make a living like the rest of us.

I would like to offer the following solution to the entire problem: We put all you oglers and the baristas on the buddy system (yes, I stole this from Janeane Garofalo). Each one offers their non-judgmental hand in marriage to a barista, committing themself to giving her a lasting, loving relationship, letting her bear your children, and cherishing her till death do you part. I’m sure they would prefer that to a few clinks in their tip jar.
