[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1027120, member: 18945"] When I was about 9 or 10, my parents took us into Houston to the zoo at Herman Park. Got thru at the zoo and went out into the park for a picnic and there was a group of those beatniks under some trees in the middle of the day reading what my mother said was poetry tho none of it rhymed or made sense to me. Drinking coffee in 90 degs, men holding little cups like a Lady Astor (my mother's description of 'em) and my mother explained that it wasn't coffee--it was 'expresso'. I said it looked like coffee to me and asked what the difference was. My father said "Cost son, they're just folks puttin on airs and living above their raisin'". I thought he meant raisins like Raisin Bran, which was a rare treat for us kids, cuz it cost more than Post Toasties. [/QUOTE]
