They burned the beans


What do you do when your coffee bean factory burns the beans?
I say the first time it happened the conversation went something like this;
            “Oh, no! We burned the beans!”
            “Ahhh, crap! That’ll really tank the bottom line this month.”
            “Jeeze, look at them. They’re almost black.”
            “I know; we’ll call them something.”
             “YES!”
            “How about French Roast?”
            “Hell yes. We’ll even charge a little more.”
And that is how and why we came to buy and drink that stuff.
My wife actually likes it.
But then again, she’ll even eat burnt toast.
