A man rushes in to his local doctor, and says "Doctor, Doctor, you've got to help me!" "What seems to be the problem?" the doctor replies. "Well," said the rather distraught man, "the other day, I came home from work, and I walked into the bedroom, and there she was - my wife, lying in bed with another man! I just went mad - insane, even! I dived into the cupboard, pulled out my shotgun and pointed it at my wife. I was about to pull the trigger, when the other man said to me, 'Listen! Don't do it! If you shoot her, you'll go to jail for the rest of your life, and you won't get to see your wife at all, ever. Why don't you put the gun down, we'll make some coffee, and we'll just talk this whole thing over?' So, we made some coffee and talked it over."

"I see." said the doctor. "So, what's the problem?" "Well," said the man, "the next day I came home from work, only to find her in bed with the same man! I went mad with rage, dived into the cupboard for the shotgun again, and pointed it at him. Just before I pulled the trigger, the guy says, 'Listen! This is crazy! If you shoot me, you'll get locked in the clink for the rest of your life, and you wife will be free to do this anytime she want with any man she pleases. There must be another solution. Tell you what - put the gun down, we'll make some coffee and we'll talk it over.' So, we talked it over."

"Aha." said the doctor, unsure where all this was leading. "So, what exactly is the problem?"

"Well, the night after that, I came home and found her in bed with the same guy again! I was livid and flooded with despair. This time, I reached into the cupboard, pulled out the shotgun and put both ends on the barrel into my mouth. Just before I pulled the trigger, this guy comes back with, 'Listen. Don't do it! Don't pull the trigger! If you kill yourself, where will you be then? You'll be dead, and your wife and I can go on doing this whenever we please, not just when you're at work! Why don't we sit down with some coffee and we'll talk it over.' So, we made the coffee and talked it all over again!"

"Okay!" said the doctor. "I get the message. But if this other guy is so understanding and you've all 'talked it over' so many times, what is the bloody problem?"

"Well," said the man, "I was wondering, is all this coffee bad for my health?"
