Uh, at least five of those kids are going to sue over reduced performance during the important end of semester academic period.

I used to work at a midtown restaurant where LI cunts and their asshole husbands would come after theater for coffee and dessert before the long drive home. The wives would inevitably go on and on about how important it was their skim cappuccinos be decaf, some even telling us of severe heart conditions that could spell death if caffeine touched their lips. They left us with no choice but to ask the barrister for a cap with regular milk and double expresso.

Very typical Yale. The undergraduates are unbearable; the staff, unhelpful. Cause and effect?

I have a coworker who has switched-of his own volition-to decaf recently. He claims to experience a placebo effect. The mind is a very strange thing.

"caffeinated and decaffeinated espresso would have markedly different effects on people who drank them."

Just who is this expert? Sounds like a bunch of liberal "global warming" imaginings.

was there a reason they did this? whatever happened to good old spitting-in-their-drinks passive aggression?

Had a coke dealer who used to substitute baby laxative for cocaine when his supply ran out. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I think that Emma girl may have gone to my high school (like 6 years below me, it's a K-12 school)... this is not supposed to be funny, it's just super weird.

also... placebo effect is powerful, if it wakes you up who cares if it's physical or mental? the same would obviously not apply in the alcoholic beer/non-alcoholic beer issue.... though seeing all the Yale kids pretending to be drunk would be pretty awesome.

I'm sorry but drinking decaff coffee is like drinking non-alcoholic beer, just pointless.
