Just overheard in the cafe.

I was behind an Italian guy and a Czech in the coffee queue at work. Both heading outside for a smoke. Usually the convention is for a paper cup when going outside.

The Czech guy made a remark about the Italian taking a proper cup, to which he replied
'I can't insult the coffee with a paper cup' , made me chuckle. Seemed a very appropriately Italian thing to say.

It is very good coffee by the way.
