Question: What can you do to “hot coffee”?

You can:

• Spill it
• Cool it
• Let it get stale
• Brew it (and brew it again)
• Pour it
• Steam it (or get steamed over it)
• Heat it up
• Serve it
• Spit in it
• Stir it (and stir it again)
• Have a storm in a cup of it
• Choke on it

Remember, take care when drinking hot coffee so it doesn’t scald or burn (or burn or burn) you.
