Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at the Café de Flore, revising his draft of "Being and Nothingness". He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about a cup of coffee with no milk?”
[And, of course, coffee with no milk always tastes better than coffee with no cream!]
