Saw this one a while ago and I can't take credit.Coffee makes you hyper, but coffee shops are designed for people to relax. Whereas alcohol is a depressant, but bars and nightclubs are designed for people to be energetic.

I was referring to the American version (Honestly didn't know there were different versions of this until just now) Are you reffing to one of these other versions @Only Lilly ?Common British versions include:Ring-a-ring o' roses,A pocket full of posies,A-tishoo! A-tishoo!We all fall down.Cows in the meadowsEating buttercupsA-tishoo! A-tishoo!We all jump up.Common American versions include:Ring-a-round the rosie,A pocket full of posies,Ashes! Ashes!We all fall down.Common Indian versions include:Ringa ringa roses,Pocket full of posiesHusha busha!We all fall down!Common Maori versions include:Ring-a-round the roses,A pocket full of posies,Kohuru! Kohuru!We all fall down.
The UK one was about the Black Death, ring of roses is the rash you get, pocket full of poses is what you smell as you walk the streets to keep you from smelling death. Atishoo atishoo we all fall down, is you sneezing and dying.Which is why you always say Bless you when you sneeze, as you may die.
