Observing Lent

“Napoleon, let us go to the Commissary for coffee.  I could use some caffeine.”  The two agents had been immersed in paperwork for hours.

“I’ll go with you, Tovarisch but, I’m not getting any coffee; I gave it up for Lent.”

Illya stared at his partner.  “You are serious!  I did not know you practiced any religious rituals.”

The CEA shrugged, “I usually don’t but, I believe a little discipline is never a bad thing.”

The Russian nodded.  “If you really want to practice discipline, how about giving up sex?”

Napoleon laughed.  “No one needs that much discipline!”
