Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[hatophile]

Wow, ya'll are killing me with the hats and drinks here, outstanding choices in both.
BTW Jeff, Laphroig is good, Talisker is better (in my book anyway).
Jack, definitely agree, Grisman is a killer mandolinist, and that Walden is a gem.

Off topic, but why is coffee called Joe in USA?

Thanks for the kind comments, and Hurricane, that stove in the truck sounds like a keen idea!

I've heard that it was mocking a Navy official who was responsible for banning alcohol. Though I've also read that that story is false, and it falls the theory that it was the average man's drink, that is to say the "average joe's cup" and so, "cup of joe." Rather like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know.

I carry around all kinds of coffee packs, even a jar of instant coffee, canned soup, dried Ramon noodles, bottled water, extra fuel, etc.

From Wiki:

Etymology[edit]
Of uncertain origin.

• Possibly a shortening of "cup of jamoke", from java + mocha: this origin was given in a military officer's manual from 1931, around when the term first appeared.
• Alternatively, perhaps a use of joe ‎(“fellow, guy”), signifying that coffee was the drink of the common man.
• Another theory suggests that US soldiers in World War I (1914-1918) referred to a serving of instant coffee made by the G. Washington Coffee Refining Company (founded in 1910) as a "cup of George", and that the common abbreviation of the name "George" ("Geo.") was then read as "Joe".
• Another theory derives the term from Josephus Daniels (1862-1948), the Secretary of the U.S. Navy who abolished the officers' wine mess and thus made coffee the strongest drink available on ships. Snopes considers this is unlikely because it says there is no attestation of the phrase "cup of joe" until 1930, 16 years after the 1914 order banning the wine mess. Confusingly, some other sources consider the Daniels derivation unlikely for the opposite reason: they say "cup of joe" predates the order.

As far as Tootsie Pops, everybody knows the answer is "Three."
