Give me a minute.

Have you tried coffee?

I’m not grumpy. I’m pre-coffee.

That sounds like tomorrow’s problem.

Let’s discuss this after another cup.

I’m listening. Unfortunately.

This meeting could have been coffee.

Everyone else isn’t drinking enough coffee.

Let me finish this before the emergency.

I need coffee before I develop an opinion.

☕ Brew coffee.

☕ Drink coffee.

☕ Stand quietly while the coffee begins negotiating with the rest of his personality.

☕ Wonder whether another cup is a good idea.

☕ Decide it definitely is.

☕ Watch the neighborhood wake up and immediately question several decisions being made across the square.

Nobody knows exactly how many cups Mo drinks each day.

Mo insists the number is “private.”

Everyone else stopped counting years ago.
