Earthquake Strikes Seattle
Thousands Spilled

Thousands were spilled and hundreds were injured as a giant tremor rocked the Seattle area Wednesday morning. Neither café lattes, cappuccinos, steamed chai, nor even the tiny espressos were spared from the force of the 6.8-magnitude quake. As Senior Investigative Baristas survey the damage, leaked reports suggest that as many as 10,000 hot drinks were spilled - many causing injury.    Survivors' statements: Sophie: "My latte was everywhere! I always order a Grande, but after the earthquake I was left with only a Tall."   Ronaldo: "I had just collected my double tall non-fat decaf Caramel Macchiato when the terror struck. Running for the door, I practically slipped on a hastily discarded L.L. Bean catalogue. What good fortune, for in it I found a lovely Transit Rolling Pullman and placed the order right there from my Palm VII." Chad: "Like, you're not going to believe this. Only yesterday my soy Chai leaves were, like, totally predicting this quake. In fact, today I ordered a Grande in a Venti cup because I was so, like, worried about spillage."   Seattle Police distribute free steamed milk and espresso shots to shaken survivors     To keep our service free, please choose all or some of our FREE offers: Yes, sign me up to the Daily Reckoning Financial Newsletter so I can receive more sense in one e-mail than a month of CNBC.
