Instant Conflict

Your Boulevardier noticed new advertisements on Castro Valley Boulevard, including a billboard and a bus shelter poster, hawking instant coffee. One wonders who the intended target of the new ads might be.

Truth be told, Your Boulevardier does not understand the appeal of instant coffee. He uses a #2 Melitta cup-top coffeemaker when he requires a single dose of demon caffeine, and finds it just as fast -- and vastly superior in quality -- to instant coffee.
