Inappropriate Comment Series: Best coffee in the world

Filed under: Inappropriate Comments — Balki @ 11:11 pm

Man and wife get into a gondola scaling up to the top of the Whistler mountain.  A few other Canadians end up in the same gondola for the 25 minute ride.

Canadian #1: Where are you guys from?
Wife: Portland, Oregon
Canadian #2: That’s quite a drive; I had the best coffee in the world when I visited Portland last… I just can’t seem to remember the name of the place.
Man: Starbucks?
Canadian #3: Yeah, and Canadian #2 just realized that there are 36,000 best coffee places in the world along with several 100 in the Vancouver-Whistler area itself.
