A Little Caffeine Never Hurt Anyone 
 
 So tell me grandpa, how the USA died. My grandsons and daughters had heard this story a hundred times but I'd tell it one more time, over cocoa just to seed them smile. 
 
 Well youngers, the day they outlawed caffeine was a bleak one. People started staying home from work, one or two at a time. The economy fell part pretty quick, no one had any food or water in some places. 
 
 The government doubled down, trying to make people work. It did n't help. Than soon everything burned. 
 
 Sure martial law was declared but soon there was to enforce the order. 
 It started with the naval 35 % of sailors refusing to work. From there it spread like wildfire. Every branch every service on a massive sickout. 
 
 Soon all the reasons we did n't like each other were in full play. 
 
 The Grandkids gasped 
 
 As time went on, it came so they called it the terror since it had a distinctly French flavor. Not like savory coffee. but like the sicker snack of a guillotine. 
 
 I made the chopping gesture and the youngest Katy all of 4 closed her eyes. After she opened them I can hear my grandkids go mmm when I mention coffee, they are too young for coffee really but what mom and dad do n't know wo n't hurt them and a little caffeine never hurt anyone. 
 
 Over the ten year period as all the tensions worked themselves out and new countries formed, once thing was prized more than ever, caffeine. 
 
 So once that was fixed up and everybody had caffeine again we all decided to go our own way. Since we have to share one big continent, every year on July 4th the 7 nations get together, drink coffee and soda and tea and hash out the differences 
 
 They clapped and I took a little bow. `` Now finish your cocoa and shoo, go watch cartoons or something.'' 
 
 And they left on little booted feet children of their own republic free to be as hyper as the parents will let them. God Bless the Western States Alliance.
