An Italian man said Monday he had killed his 72-year-old wife after
she made him a bad cup of coffee, Italian news agency ANSA reported.
`The coffee was disgusting. I drank a little then I picked up the cup
and smashed it on the floor,'' the 84-year-old told prosecutors in
Bari, on Italy's southern heel, the agency said.
A neighbor discovered the wife's body Sunday afternoon and alerted the
police. The man was arrested on suspicion of murder. The man later
confessed he had hidden the murder weapon -- a hammer -- and
blood-sodden clothes he had worn when he killed her, ANSA said.

P.S. It is rumoured he has received some phone calls from disgruntled
Starbuck clients asking him for more details on his "technique".

Sounds like a case of "too much coffee" to me.

I wonder if he'll claim mitigating circumstances?

He'd have grounds.

In other circumstances, I'd suggest reading the tea leaves.

This type of thing filters in here from time to time; it's certainly
percolated itself throughout all of Usenet.

My sediments exactly.

There sure are enough drips around to keep it going. Some of these
punsters are real basket cases. Of course, I've bean guilty of some
pretty heinous ones, myself. (Water you looking at?)

Anyway, enough of this Krupp. I'm bailing out before the chickens
come home to roast.

So did my wife I wondered why she suddenly flung the paper
to the floor and dumped a full pot of coffee into the sink.
She mumbled something under her breath about wanting to make
a fresh pot.

Why not read the subject, then the original post, and see if anything
percolates through to your brain.
Too much strong coffee can make you choleric, and may make you constipated:
that's probably your problem.

And now she's no longer his Coffee Mate, which is too bad, because she

In fact, she was his better half & half.
