They Were Fooled (True Story)

Some men were talking in the pub, the subject turned to wives
how they could make men miserable or enhance their lives,
my husband said "mine's got her faults, I tell you I don't jest
but of the things she makes for me her Irish coffee's best".
The upshot was when he came home he had some friends in tow
he'd brought them so that I could prove that what he said was so,
they laughed and joked and fooled around, were quite intoxicated
I thought I'd better humour them, made coffee as they waited.
Now Irish coffee has to have some Irish whiskey in it
brown sugar, coffee, topped with cream, not one of those omit
but I left out (on purpose, yes 
) the thing that makes it special
that coffee had no whiskey in, for Irish that's essential.
They raved about it and agreed 'twas as my man had stated
my Irish coffee was indeed the best they'd ever tasted.
This goes to show with too much booze you won't be compos mentis
and though you think you're on the ball you may have lost your senses.

I saw Irish creme coffee at a store yesterday and debated on getting it to try. I already have 3 other bags of coffee so I decided not to have it. Today I’m kicking myself wishing I had just bought it as I’ve never seen that flavor before.

I love Irish Coffee, but with a bit of Irish whisky in it, not a lot, just a little bit. In the United States they serve the Irish coffee topped with "whipped cream" (
) and with mint syrup on top (because it's Irish), it's horrible, really horrible!1 person likes this

They must have drunk too much.You are ,without doubt,a good hand at making Irish coffee,the reason why you omitted on purpose the whiskey is that you knew it would be the last straw for them.
