This /. comment made me laugh so hard I very nearly wet myself:

NEW STARBUCKS OPENS IN RESTROOM OF EXISTING STARBUCKS

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Starbucks, the nation's largest coffee-shop chain,
continued its rapid expansion Tuesday, opening its newest location
in the men's room of an existing Starbucks.

"Coffee lovers just can't stand being far from their favorite Starbucks
gourmet blends," said Chris Tuttle, Starbucks vice-president of
franchising. "Now, people can enjoy a delicious Frappuccino or espresso
just about any time they please ...."

The new men's-room-based Starbucks, the coffee giant's 1,531st U.S.
location, will be open to both men and women when not "in use." In
addition to offering specialty coffees from around the world, it will
serve freshly baked pastries, Italian pannini sandwiches and soups, as
well as the rest room's usual selection of toilet paper and soap.

According to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, the new location represents the
beginning of a long-term expansion plan. "Eventually, Starbucks rest rooms
everywhere will sell coffee," Schultz said. "But that ambitious scheme is
at least five years down the road. In the meantime, we plan to open an
additional location in this Starbucks' ladies' room within months, and are
already drafting plans for a fourth restaurant along the corridor leading
from the main seating area to the rest rooms. At some point a 'Star-bucks
Express' window will eventually open in the walk-in closet of the men's
room Starbucks."

"Drink our coffee," Schultz said. "Drink it."

I hope /. doesn't mind me duplicating it here...

If it looks like The Onion, smells like The Onion, it probably is The Onion. That "comment" was from The Onion on June 27, 1998.

Oh, I was about to submit this /. comment to http://seenonslash.com... then I noticed it's originally from the Onion. Too bad, cause it's hysterical.
