Wait, so coffee will make me stronger, but only when I’m in bed? Maybe I should bring an old mattress outside when I’m splitting logs. My poor muscles get pooped so easily these days. ---

You mean, like, lifting weights and stuff? I try not to do that in bed because the dumbbells put dents in the pillows. Or “stronger” as in other activities? Doesn’t the excess caffeine cause a speed-up that the partner finds undesirable? \*Made up my mind a long time ago Ain’t no reason not to take it slow It took a long time but I learned what they like Once you’ve learned my lesson it’s like ridin’ a bike Slow Slow, learn my lesson Slow Slow\* - Rev.

If so, I would think that has a much more significant impact on birth rates than whether or not people drink coffee. ---

So, wait… Is KaleMan worried that CoffeeMan is stronger in bed? I hope SpinachGirl doesn’t find out or she’ll dump his green ass for some hot java. ---
