YOU KNOW YOU'RE DRINKING
TO MUCH COFFEE WHEN........

You ski uphill.
You speed walk in your sleep.
You answer the door before
people knock.
You sleep with your eyes open.
You just completed another sweater
and you don't know how to knit.
You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
You
have to watch videos in fast-forward
The only time you're standing still is in
an earthquake
You lick your coffeepot clean.
Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
The
nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse.
You can type sixty words
a minute with your feet.
You don't need a hammer to pound nails.
You don't
sweat, you percolate.
You've worn out the handles on your favorite mug.
You've
built a miniature city out of plastic stirrers.
People get dizzy just watching
you.
People can test their batteries in your ears.
When someone asks you,"
How are you?", you say," Good to the last drop."
You go to sleep
just so you can wake up and smell the coffee.
Y our birthday is a national holiday
in Brazil.
Your Thermos is on wheels.
You can outlast the Energizer Bunny.
You
don't even wait for the water to boil anymore.
You think being called a drip is
a compliment.
You don't tan, you roast.
You don't get mad, you get steamed.
You
soak your dentures in coffee overnight.
You think CPR stands for "Coffee
Provides Resuscitation."
