    Alright. Maybe it’s because I’m tired but I’m out of the loop on this one.

      The song “40 Cups of Coffee” by Ella Mae Morse is about a woman worried about her lover who has yet to return. In the meantime, she consumes 40 cups of coffee to stay up and wait.

        I fully expected this to be about Janeway, but alas.

          Her tolerance is high enough to manage.

            If coffee were whiskey she could drink any dockworker under the table with the greatest of ease

        Thank you! That is a well done song.

        For those wondering, the supposed timeline is a single night. I tend to agree with Spock.

        That doesn’t really explain the supposed punchline.

    I think it would have been better without the last part

      Kirk’s look alone does say plenty, but putting this together reminded me of Peter Griffin saying “How do you turn a phrase” followed by Lois saying that last line.
