A coffee cup with no actual bottom on it. It sits on the saucer, and can be filled with scalding hot coffee without the drinkee noticing anything otherwise.

When they lift the cup, they are burnt terribly about the legs and knees. If they complain, then you can safely say 'we always serve bottomless coffee here', and giggle.

Best if served by a topless waitress.

If it's topless, a warning at the entrance could say:

"WARNING: Your pants may become very hot while frequenting this establishment. You may find yourself yelping and exclaiming 'Hot damn -- that's hot!!!'".

The potential customers are thinking one thing, while you're thinking another. Could they then sue if such a warning was posted?

Needless* to say, you can serve it with Boneless* Chicken Burgers. (apologies to Gary Larson and The Far Side).

Should suit our mindless, selfless, clueless, helpless, witless society of jobless, homeless, hopeless , useless, shiftless nobodies in this tasteless, soulless, cashless, paperless, wireless age. ( Who said less isn't more?)

I have to say that I was very disappointed to find this was a [benfrost] idea.

Wasting the 'liquid of life'...what a sin.

I do like the waitress idea.
