         Now, a dead dog accompanies each purchase of
         *CONQUISTADOR COFFEE*!!

-----------------------------------------------------------

The Beginning:
Anywhere in the world, present time:

There was a family that got themselves a son. He was very
cute, and started to grow. After a while, he also learned
how to speak. His first word was, "Golfball".

On his first birthday, his father asked him, "Son, what
do you want for your birthday present?" - He replied,
in a very 1-year-old-ish manner, "Green golfball!!!"

Needless to say, his parents didn't really pay much
attention to this, and bought him real KID stuff. You
know, teddy bears 'n stuff.

The next year, his father again approached his son. "Son,"
he asked, "what would you like for your second birthday"?
The boy replied quickly: "A green golfball!!". "Why would he
want a green golfball?" His dad thought it was a bit weird, but
instead bought toy cars 'n stuff for his son.

Now, the years passed, and the boy went to school. Every year
he asked for nothing but a green golfball for his birthday, and
he never got one. He grew and grew, and eventually got himself
a girlfriend. She thought she'd buy him something nice for
Christmas, and asked him, "what would you like me to buy for you?"
As always, he replied, "a green golfball."

Years/girlfriends flew by, and he got himself a steady job.
He worked hard, and his boss noticed this. "Young man," his
boss said, "you work hard. Is there something you'd like me
to get for your desk: a computer, a new phone, a nicer chair,
a bigger desk or something?" The young man didn't think for
long: He replied, "No, but a green golf ball would be nice."
His boss laughed at this: he thought it was a nice joke. So
he got a bigger chair.

More and more years flew by; eventually, he retired. The new
boss (a yuppie, of course) asked him what he would really like
from the company for a life-long service. "Why, a green golf
ball, since you're askin'", the old man says. The yuppie boss
laughs at what seems to him to be an old man's wit, and hands
over a gold watch.

On his way from work, a car runs him over. As he lies there on
the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, awaiting death, some
people gather around him. One of them, a nurse, realizes that he
is about to die. She asks, "is there anything you would like us
to do for you?" The old man whispers, "I must have a green golf
ball." By coincidence, a golf player is standing next to him.
He has just bought himself a green golf ball (some coincidence).
He hands it to the dying man, and asks him, "but sir, what would
you want to do with a green golf ball?"

The man grasps the desired item (the golf ball), smiles, and
whispers, "I'm going to..."---and then he dies.
