Subject: happy? - July 24 (Instant coffee)

According to the Nestlé company & most almanacs, "The world's first instant coffee was invented by Nestlé [on 7/24/1938] and named Nescafé." It was also invented in 1901 by Sartori Kato, a Japanese scientist working in Chicago, however it was not marketed commercially.

 
     1. The Shah he sat on his oriental mat,
          In his harem, High Street, Persia,
          He took a sip from his coffee, just a drip,
          And he says to his slave, "Here, Gersha!
          Gersha! Gersha! Curse yer!
          This is the 'orriblest cup of coffee in Persia!"
          
                  Chorus
                  What I want is a proper cup of coffee,
                  Made in a proper copper coffee pot.
                  I may be off my dot,
                  But I want a cup of coffee from a proper coffee pot.
                  Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots,
                  They're no use to me, so
                  If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
                  From a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!"
  
                          "Proper Cup of Coffee" (The Coffeepot Song) sung by Anne Dodson which
                          we haven't heard and by Cindy Mangsen which, happily, we have.
