Well, that cup, and 4 bucks, plus tip will get you a Moca Joka Frokachino. And you can enjoy your smoke out on the portico...[that's Italian for sidewalk}.

I thought the 4 bucks was for the Mucha Puka Slapachino with a dolup of cream on top al dente.

Hey, I just thought of a great ad for Starbucks. They could have Ned Beatty be their spokesman and the mountain men would be standing behind the couter saying "Let's jes hear you squeal like a pig, boy!"
