Ginger took a sip from her mug and grimaced.
"Well, what did you expect?" said Tyler, who had been watching her for who knows how long.
"I dunno Ty," she said, "maybe coffee? This is a coffee mug and generally that DOES lead one to expect coffee."
The two just stared at the mugs. And they kept staring. And staring. And staring.
A passerby came by and said, "What are you doing?"
They said in unison, "Waiting for the mugs to get cold."
The passerby looked at them weird and left.
Eventually after 2 hours the mugs cooled.
The moment the mugs were exactly 45°, both girls threw off their overcoats and grabbed a mug each. They slammed down that coffee and threw the mugs crashing into the wall, then took off down the street sprinting like Jason Bourne…to the next coffee shop.
The Java Sprint was on! The rules were simple. 10 coffee shops, each 2-4 blocks apart. Drink one hot drink prepared at each shop. No bottled drinks or pre-orders. The first to finish the 10th drink wins a 10 year supply of coffee beans.
