The Businessman on Coffee.
Coffee Monday.
Happy Monday!
Coffee is the greatest drink in the world for business men. I drink it in the morning, of course, and again at four o’clock. Great idea! I do more work now from four to five than I used to do all afternoon.

Convivial Supper 
Swedes in my family always had coffee at 4 o’clock, filtered through eggshells. And if it was too hot to drink, they poured some into the saucer to blow on it. I doubt businessmen went through these rituals, however.

I don’t think I could sleep if I had coffee at 4 pm – but the coffee shop down the street seems to do a brisk business no matter what time of day it is. 4 pm is the hour dedicated to checking your calendar for tomorrow and dusting off your shelves.
