Associated Press reporter Rob Gillies wrote a story about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford ordering five espressos, and its lede is phenomenal:
TORONTO (AP) – Famed DJ deadmau5 asked Rob Ford to go for a coffee run in his Ferrari and was jolted by the Toronto mayor’s order: five espressos in one cup.
But the last three lines of the story are remarkable as well.
Ford asks the teller twice if there’s five shots and later says he throws the “espressos back. I do.”
Ford admitted last year that he had smoked crack in a “drunken stupor.”
