What I like

I've realized that what I love the most on Earth is beautiful women and good coffee.
And cameras.
Maybe I should open a high-quality coffeeshop with pretty waitresses dresses in the legal minimum. And rent out cameras to customers to photograph the waitresses and sell them prints for a buck a piece. (They'll show the prints to friends, who'll then come to the coffeehouse.)

Actually years back in Copenhagen, a really nice high-end burger restaurant started up which had uniforms for the waitresses with super-mini-skirts. It was heavenly.
Later they changed it to leggings, and when I asked why, it was because some of the waitresses got fed up with customers trying to see up their skirts.
Isn't it silly? A look does not hurt. So hire some waitresses who like being looked at. A good view is a premium quality for a restaurant, and that includes the internal view. I'm perfectly willing to pay a couple bucks extra to be served by scantily clad gorgeous waitresses. (And if they are pleasant too, they'll earn really good tips.)

Probably Copenhagen wouldn't be the best place for it though. For one thing it's cold half the year, and for another, feminism is strong in Denmark, sadly. Even if you get the perfect staff, there's bound to be public protests about how the place "degrades women". A Mediterranean city would probably be a better bet.
(I suppose we'd have to throw in a couple of hunks in shorts and half-open shirts.)

Ahhh! A man after my own heart! Throw in a decent selection of good ice cream and you've got a customer for life!

Something off-topic.

There is an interesting service which translates a phrase from English to Japanese and back until it reaches equilibrium. I have tried the first statement from your post (which I consider well put) and got interesting results. Try this on

"I have realized that I love beautiful women and good coffee the most on Earth."

and see what you get :-)))

Yes, most people would be satisfied with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice but you strike me as someone who likes the serious gourmet shit. Good for you.

There's a few levels of "gourmet" above me, but I must be well above average, from the fact that apparently real (non-instant) coffee sells so poorly in this neighborhood that the local convenience store does not even carry it.

I have a cappucino machine, but I've not learned to use it properly it seems, I can't get the foam right (it's surprisingly complex). So I cheat and heat the milk in the microwave. But I found out that getting a bean grinder *really* improved taste, so that was a breakthrough. I made a *good* cafe au lait.

Yeah, those are good. You might like this clip though. What genius it must have taken to come up with such a drink. ;-)

Hooters never has thisproblem.

feminism is much stronger in Denmark.
But then again, puritanism is much stronger in the US.

But Hooters is in the U.S. so the puritanism can't be too bad these days.

I'd bet those Danish feminists would right up there hooting and hollering at a Chippendales...er, performance.
