Woman Dunks Car, Saves Coffee

From the dubious priorities department…

Dateline: Oakland, California –

Authorities said the car went into the water a little after 6:00 a.m. after its driver lost control when she reached for her cell phone near the intersection of Alameda Avenue and Fruitvale.

The 22-year-old female driver, on her way to work at a nearby Brinks office, was able to knock out a window, climb out of the floating vehicle and swim to safety. Onlookers said she came ashore still cradling her coffee cup.

In other news, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says,

“We are doing everything we can to differentiate Starbucks from everyone else that is attempting to be in the coffee business.”

Umm… is that really want you’re wanting to say?
