Not Just Your Average Joe
"Bean" thinking about buying a cappuccino maker but wondering if it's a good use of our discretionary cash, whether it makes good investment sense, etc. Bean dragging my feet on it for a year. Unlike Chicago school bureaucrats who, as reported on Drudge, just went out and bought 30 cappuccino/espresso machines for $67,000.
30 machines for $67,000 !!! Do you see how much easier it is when you are spending someone else's money?!?
But not everyone was as pumped as they obviously were: "We... look at it as a waste of money because the schools... weren't prepared to implement them into the curriculum".
Implement them into the curriculum? Cappuccino machines are part of the curriculum? The schools weren't ready for them? Do they need to hire consultants to get to ready? For $67,000 USD I will develop a kick-bean, double-shot cappuccino readiness-plan -- hold the froth!
As a bonus, I'll throw in teaching the kids how to spell "curriculum" and "cappuccino" at no extra charge.
It's probably more than they're getting now.
And that's the way the caffeinated Ball bounces.
