depends on people paying 5 ****ing bucks for a coffee?

I could never understand anyone paying that much for a coffee. Can't
understand people paying so much for water, for that matter.

Marketing... fads....

Why would I?
I'm not an importer of diesel or coffee.
But I can tell the difference from an idiots illegal fantasy and an
ideal that may make a profit.
I'm just looking at the math.

Hey Fred, take a look at these numbers.

HOw wise is it to create a business when the retail coffee market is
tanking. take Starbucks. the just layed off 12,000 jobs and closed 600
stores. Their stock cost ~$40 per share in mid 2006 now trading at
$15.62

It dont take a university professor with three degrees, a license, and
a rating to figure out maybe standing on a street corner trying to
sell coffee beans is not such a great idea...............

Oh, but I forgot. The owner and operator of Red Clown was a ignorant
coonass GOM brown water boat driver. *I appologize for the redundant
descriptors. We must be kinder to those less fortunate, a 10 grade
education, and a dedicated seat on short bus to coonass success...

PS Fred once again thank you for reading my post. I take that as a
true compliment.
XOXOXO

Only a fool like you would pay 5.00 bucks for a cup of coffee.

But 32 cups for 8 bucks sounds like a decent price to pay.

Again you should use your head for more than a resting place for bed
bugs

Mr Nealbur your little mauve and yellow queer boat could not carry
more than 5 gallons of fuel.

Your meger pension will never amount to enough to start any venture,
you are doomed to the pretend sailor status you so plainly display
here.

At least Bob (if he's not a pathetic liar like you) has a boat that's
not a total joke with an old water pipe taped into the boom as a
repair.

End of story. Switch your puppets and reply now.

Sorry, Fred, but if that puff-chested, strutting, know-it-all, banty rooster

It is heartening to see that Wilbur is on the first stages of his
treatment -- admiting his own shortcomings.



A fool who knows his foolishness is wise
at least to that extent, but a fool who
thinks himself wise is a fool indeed.

I know a container of parts from China will cost my company 9000
dollars each way shipping.

You have to ship them an empty, or what?

I'm just looking at the math.

It was more of a rhetorical question, as well as a troll for any idea
how much. Less than nine grand, at any rate. Thank you.
