A Question They Never Understand

I'm not a coffee drinker, and so I refuse to bow to to the conventions of coffee. For example, I've noticed people ask, "How do you take your coffee?" This has always struck me as the most frilly and effeminate Great Gatsby way to ask someone what the hell do you want me to put in your coffee, and so I refuse to do it. I instead ask, "Anything to go in the coffee?" And I'm starting to see the wisdom in the former phraseology because, even though I'm pointing right into the cup of coffee, they still always reply, "Peanuts!" or "Cheese Crackers!" I guess 'how do you take it' is just the way you ask that question. I'm still not doing it, though.
