Memorable coffee spills Yesterday morning , the alarm rang , and I struggled out of my bed , slapped the clock until it shut up , and staggered to the kitchen with my eyes half - shut . Dennis had left the coffee plugged in for me , so I got a cup , set it on the counter , and poured some coffee in it . That is , I intended for the coffee to go in the cup . Unfortunately , the cup was upside down , so I actually poured some coffee over the cup .

Question: Why did I spill the coffee ?
Answer: Because I intended for coffee to go in the cupBecause my alarm rang too earlyBecause I was half asleepNone of the above choices .
