Corky Chronicles: Free Coffee

So I have had a little story in the back of my mind for days...
And wanted to share it with you...
It is another example of how the Gardner Family can never pass up a good deal...

It's the first day of school at Southern Oregon University in Ashland; and to kick it off, Evos is giving away free coffee.

From far and wide, everyone is standing in line to get a fresh cup of Ashland's finest fair trade, organic blend.

Corky is excited about the first day of classes, nervous to have everything she will need, and stands in line with a young man she has had her eye on for a while...
She wants to impress her companion, but as usual, is franticly trying to get everything together...
She stands listening to her friend as he is telling a story and tries to act natural...
Mid-sentence, while trying to juggle a hair brush and cup of scalding hot coffee, Corky attempts to put on her backpack...

I don't have to tell you where this is going...
I think you worked it out for yourself... Three items in play and something is about to go horribly wrong.
Coffee $3.00
Hair Brush $2.00
Backpack $10.00

Pouring a cup of scalding hot coffee on you head on the first day of school in front of the guy you were trying to impress...
Priceless

After she pours her entire cup of coffee on top of her head, she tries to play it off, like she wasn't standing there, soaked from head to toe in coffee...
But there is only so much a person can ignore... and her new friend was having trouble gaging how to react...
In the end she couldn't keep a straight face and finally had to give in. So with coffee dripping off her glasses and down her shirt she gave a quick apology and the obvious excuse that she had just poured her coffee on her head and had to go.
