We need to limit the number of Frappuccinos you can have in a month.

That's what that idiot mayor of New York will probably think after seeing this:

Police: Man Robs Hotel By Using Hot Coffee

ARLINGTON, Va. (CBSDC) – Arlington County authorities say a local hotel was robbed after the thief threw hot coffee at the front desk clerk.

Police told the Washington Post that after dousing the Arlington Best Western employee in the scalding liquid, he proceeded to steal cash from the drawer behind the counter.

The perpetrator ultimately took $450 and a cell phone....

Well we as a society must ask some questions:

1. Was the coffee registered?

2. Was the drinker/criminal licensed?

3. Was he trained in use of the the coffee?

4. Was a background check conducted prior to his getting the container filled?

5. Has he been put on Starbucks's "Do Not Serve" list?

6. Was it regular, expresso with one or two shots (sorry about the pun)?

7. Were there children in his house when he had the coffee with him?

8. Was it Starbucks, Maxwell House or Folgers?

9. Was it Starbucks coffee or service station drivel?

Can you think of anything else that may have stopped this tragedy? Please let me know.

I'll leave you with this comment:
