Accountant wanted

I saw a short ad on a website. It said:

ACCOUNTANT WANTED

$70,000 - $80,000


So I wrote them an email:

"I am not an accounted, but I thought I could help.
the answer is -$10,000"

Proper answer would be ($10,000) or -$10,000

Here comes the geezer again....

It's espresso, not eXpresso.

Interestingly, the translation of the word espresso in Italian is quickly. (express). The origin of the word was at the time when they invented the espresso machines there, they invented it so that they can sell coffee quickly to the train stations passengers, and at factories mangers noticed that Italians take a long and frequent coffee breaks and figured that if they put a machine that makes coffee in 30 seconds the workers will take shorter coffee breaks.

So, quickly or express, the word is espresso (translate.google.com it). And like everything Italian origin coffee related, the words remained in Italian even when used in the US. Espresso, cappuccino, cafe latte (cafe with milk), barista (barman), etc.

MatWiz - entertaining and informative.

Don't know about quicker. With drip you can have several pots dripping while you prepare new ones to drip. With espresso, it's one at a time, though I guess a large shop not concerned with 'half-caff' nonsense could go with wholesale espresso steaming.

At the allegro coffee shop in Seattle was a small poster that went something like:

Death comes to all of us. And in the next life, there will be no coffee, and consequently no waiting for it.

No coffee? Nooooooo!!
