Larry’s Laff-A-Rama: Ordering Coffee
I love comedy. I really admire the talent of great stand-up comics. I think what they do is incredible. On the radio, I do what I do in a closed-door studio. I never see the audience. Stand-up comedians have to make people laugh while they are looking at them right in the eye. It’s do or die. It takes guts, and great comedic chops.
So, I thought I’d share some great stand-up comedy with you every Monday. Why? Because it’s Monday!! Everyone could use a good laugh on Monday. So, here we go with installment number one.
Not only do I love great stand-up comedy, I also love coffee. Now, I’m not here to judge anyone’s coffee order. I’m not here to judge those who don’t drink coffee. But every day during the first few hours of my show on 96.3 KKLZ, I drink my home-made iced coffee. It’s just black, dark roast, Italian coffee, poured over ice. No sweetener. No dairy. Just ice and coffee. I call it: “My cup of personality.” I didn’t start drinking coffee until my late 30s, but nowadays, I gotta have it.
With that in mind, I thought I’d share a comedy bit by Nashville comedian Nate Bargatze. His take on ordering what he likes at one of the international chain coffee houses is pretty darn funny. Enjoy!

9 Ways To Reuse Your Tea Leaves And Coffee Grounds
Give Your Flowers A Boost
Some breeds of plants love acid and will benefit from coffee grounds. Use them as mulch for plants like roses, azaleas and hydrangeas, which will thrive from the nutrients released into the soil.
Tame The Ants
Ants don’t like coffee? I knew those guys were sketchy. Sprinkle coffee grounds around an area that has ants and it will make them go the other way. Word on the street is that it also deters snails and slugs.
Clean The Fireplace
If you sprinkle your still-damp coffee grounds in the fireplace before you clean it, it will quell those crazy ashes and elimate the cloud of dusts we all love.
Keep The Cats Out Of The Garden
Grab some orange peels and mix them up with coffee grounds. Now put them around your plant roots in the garden and it will keep kitty away.
Plant Some Carrots
Unlike those shady ants, carrots LOVE coffee. Mix dried coffee grounds with carrot seeds before you plant them and watch your carrots thrive.
Soften Your Skin
If your skin feels like a dry lakebed, coffee can help! Make a homemade scrub from coffee grounds, coconut oil and a touch of brown sugar, and your skin will be soft and smooth. Be careful not to use too much coffee at one time because the grounds are hard on your drains.
Clean Stubborn Dishes
Coffee grounds have natural abrasion, so put some in a pan before you scrub it and watch those dried-on food parts vanish. Just remember not to dump too many grounds down the drain!
Soothe Stings Or Burns
Bug bites and minor burns, even sunburns, don’t have to ruin your day. Just place some cool tea bags on those bad boys for instant relief.
Quell Pet Odors
Dried tea leaves have odor-reducing qualities. Spread them in the litter box or anywhere else you have stinky smells and watch that unpleasantness disappear. It works in the fridge, on your cutting board, even your hands after cutting garlic. The last two can be done with wet tea bags as well as dried leaves.
***BONUS this is great for carpets that have pet odor. Crush the dried tea leaves lightly and let them sit on the carpet for about ten minutes, then vaccum up! It freshens your carpet AND your vaccum.
