At the airport in Minneapolis, my dear husband heads off to the coffee stand in order to buy a Decadent Frozen Coffee Drink. I ask him to get me a Decadent Hot Coffee Drink. He returns, with some sort of vaguely coffee-themed oreo milkshake for himself, and, for me: a "Depth Charge", that is, a large black coffee with a shot of espresso in it. This wasn't quite what I had in mind for "decadent", and I don't even drink coffee without cream and sugar in it. But he says the name was cool.
Thus: Men only think about one thing, and that's BLOWING STUFF UP.
(Still, it provided me a good five minutes of teasing at the time, and makes a far better story than any normal decadent coffee drink would have, so on the whole I think I win.)
