The New Go-fer

"The New Go-fer"

Freddie was eighteen years old, friendly, and eager to
do things right. Unfortunately, he wasn't especially bright.
He had just started his first job, as a delivery boy and
general go-fer at a furniture warehouse. His first task
was to go out for coffee.

He walked into a nearby coffee shop carrying a large
thermos. When the counterman finally noticed him, he
held up the thermos.

"Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" he said.
The counterman looked at the thermos, hesitated for
a few seconds, then finally said, "Yeah. It looks like about
six cups to me."

"Good," Freddie said. "Give me two regular, two black,
and two decaf."
