Expensive Coffee

Sr. Banana, the chihuaha, polishes a skyblue teapot. Smoke drifts out, and an aqua-colored purple-eyed genie in a golden fez materialises. "so, sr. banana. you summon me once again." Banana replies, "Si." the genie asks, "for what do you wish?" Banana says, "to taste The most expensive coffee on earth." the genie says, "and? you still have two wishes." Banana thinks hard, and says, "ok, the THREE most expensive coffees on earth!"

Equinox 2021: A perfectly balanced coffee

Sr. Banana is running the cafe from a small service window in the wall. Standing on the sidewalk outside is his customer, Earl, the English Bulldog. Sr. Banana is wearing a surgical facemask. Earl is wearing a plastic face shield. Sr. Banana says: May i take your order? Earl reads the sign on the wall which reads: Ask about our Equinox Special! Earl asks. Sr Banana says: One perfectly balanaced coffee. Earl says: balanced with what? Banana holds out a gorgeous chocolate and whipped cream layer cake covered in chocolate frosting with a cherry on top. Earl smiles and says: I'll take two.

 Happy Equinox, on the day of terrestrial balance, may you find balance in life as well.
