Workmen and the Aroma Finger....

Did you ever see the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where the aroma finger came out of something delicious and enticed Bugs back to whatever he shouldn't have been getting into:?

Well, we kind of had the same situation. We had massive storm damage to our house and insurance has finally settled we were getting a new roof put on and the company we hired said they do a roof in one day - they weren't kidding either. They showed up with this enormous crew of guys who just went to work like crazy.

So my partner decided to make coffee and we had to move everything from our upstairs kitchen to a downstairs art studio (was a kitchen in the 1920s) and one by one the roofers came down the ladder as the aroma of the coffee wafted out the door. And they were really funny about asking for it - one said it "smelled just like the coffee he gets" and my partner rolled his eyes at me and then said "So you like like fresh roasted coffee too?"
and the roofer said , "Well Duh, aren't all coffee beans fresh roasted?"

and we couldn't quit laughing.... now it's a running joke when someone gets a cup of coffee ...."Are those fresh roasted?" "Well Duh...":

All the roofers loved the coffee though - they got treated to our brand new bag of "America the Beautiful Blend"!
