So far as long as I’ve been drinking coffee, I’ve been a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee person. Everyone knows this. It’s something I pride myself on. After all, why pay more for a cup of coffee at Starbucks when you can get one that’s better at Dunkin’ for less? Until now. *Sigh.* For some reason, lately, [...]

A short funny to (hopefully) make you smile.
