August,

 AA> Reminds me of:

 AA>   Blonde with Sand = Coffee with cream and sugar.
 AA>   Chicks on a raft = Eggs on toast
 AA>   Coffee dry = coffee with sugar only
 AA>   Coffee high and dry = coffee with no cream or sugar or black

  The late Red Skelton had a similar deal in one of his routines,
but I'd have to search for it on YouTube.

 AA> I don't know if today's diners continue to use terms like that (I
 AA> haven't been out to one in years).  Bud sadly, the Tim Horton's here is
 AA> pretty boring... if you order just a coffee by saying "coffee", it is
 AA> assumed to be (no cream, no sugar), but if you say "double" or "double
 AA> double", it is assumed be 1 cream and 1 sugar for the former, and twice
 AA> that for the latter.
  
  That won't ever apply to me...I never acquired a taste for coffee.

Daryl
