This sounds like an apt description of a somewhat tipsy Viennese coffee
house patron. :)
In the summer of '83, When I was an undergrad at Michigan, I spent the summer
in Europe, much of it working as a waiter at a Weinstube in the quaint wine-
growing town of Gumpoldskirchen, about 20 minutes' drive south of Vienna.
Among the waiters there was a joke along the lines of, if an obnoxious
patron asks for coffee "mit Schlag" (literally, "with beating"), then a
conscientious waiter will give him or her exactly what was ordered. :)

I used to have a girlfriend from Louisville (Kentucky), but must admit

Seriously, I think you mean "Liouville" numbers.
