And You Thought You Knew How to Make Coffee Cake!!

My brother called me the other night and relayed this story to me. A friend of his in his apartment building had not paid his electric bill, and consequently had no electric. He went to my brother's apartment and asked him to do him a favor. He said that he had made coffee cake, and wanted my brother to bake it in his oven. My brother said that he would, and the friend left. My brother lifted up the foil to look at it before baking it. To his amazement, this is what he was looking at- several slices of broken up bread, several blobs of butter over the bread, and GROUND COFFEE sprinkled all over the top! 

HMMM- does his friend have terrible tastes, or did he just start a whole new business?!

I hope this was meant to be a joke.  Otherwise, I would say that your brother's friend is a jen-you-wine nut case!

Actually, this was not a joke. I'm afraid that your assessment is correct!
