So you’re a proponent of taking lawn clippings and selling it to rubes then? 
I wonder if it’s genetic, but honestly that’s what any tea tastes like to me. And I’m not a defensive coffee drinker, don’t like that either. Can’t stand the smell, although my wife doesn’t like coffee and likes the smell.

Victorians also put antimacassars on their upholstered chairs
for perfectly practical reasons:
(Still a thing, for example on airline seats.)

In Michigan, stores used to be required to check IDs of people under 40. Damn near the day I turned 50, and was pleased to not have to be carded anymore, a new state law went into effect requiring ID checks on anyone under 50. WTAF? If I buy beer with Kidd Jr. tagging along, almost no one cards me, and it’s now a math test for cashiers: is this kid biologically possible if the mom is under 21? Since the answer to the math problem is currently 6, I’m finding that it’s almost always men who fail the test.
