Everybody is using coSfee. This must no longer be My subjects must drink beer. His majesty was brought up on beer, and so were bis ancestors. Innumerable battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the king does not believe that coffee drinking soldiers can be depended upon to endure hardships or to conquer his enemies should another war occur."
