Unfiltered Story #265305

My senior class goes to Paris for our senior trip (yes, I understand how insanely lucky we are). It is a week of firsts, one of which is trying the local coffee. We have just come off mid terms, and therefore gallons of Starbucks, so we are eager to try what most people have been telling us is the vastly superior brew. We stop at a small cafe and order various coffee products. This happens when a classmate gets his espresso:

Classmate: So. . .how do I drink this? Should I add sugar?

Class: NO!

Classmate: What?! I didn’t know. So, do I just sip it?

Me: (I know him as a bit of a joker and feel it’s time to give back a little) If you’re a real man, you’ll drink it down in one gulp.

Classmate: (smiles, but points a finger in my face) Hey! I’ll have you know that I have been a man for a LONG time.

As his poor luck would have it, his voice cracks horribly on the word “long”. Cue the rest of us falling into giggles

Me: Are you sure?

Classmate: Shut up. (He too was able to laugh at his own, well-timed misfortune)
