Riddle Sideways: almost
Riddle Sideways: or it is about taking the quick and easy route might be a crappy cup of jo
Agatha Macbeth: Jo?
Riddle Sideways: slang
Riddle Sideways: the editor might fix the spelting
Agatha Macbeth wonders who Jo Slang is
Riddle Sideways: asks "Hey Smart-as speaker, where did the silly expression 'cup of joe' come from to mean coffee

Agatha Macbeth: Must admit I didn't know that one
Adams Rubble: java?
Riddle Sideways: oh well, will research and publish in logs
