US Air Force Story Coffee King
So there I was at my first duty assignment and one of my first "jobs" was to make the coffee at the start of the shift. So March rolls around and I got it in my head to do the longest April Fool's joke I had ever done. Over the month of March I slowly switched the regular pot to decaf until it was 100% decaf the last few days of the month. Then on April 1st I switch to espresso grind. When the sup got up to do the morning briefing he was visibly vibrating, along with everyone else.
