        Ummm....It was conclusively shown that they kept the
coffee 15-20 degrees F higher than the industry standard in order
to allow them to keep the coffee "fresh" for a longer period.

        It was also conclusively shown that this happens many
times a year to people going McDonalds.

        Let's see, McDonalds deliberately engaged in a hazardous
behavior to save some money from coffee spoilage, and the jury
awarded an amount equal to ONE DAY'S worth of coffee sales.

        What exactly is so bad about that?

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have
some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.
