I probably shouldn't say that, but the Quebecquois accent
Because it's very charming and it does sound very old to French people, a bit like someone speaking 18th Century French. And there are some subtle differences in language which can lead to double-entendre.
PBM, same question

A Bayou Labatre, Alabama accent. It has the slight naughty Frenchmen influence of a New Orleans accent but with flatter vowels and a truly unique-in-the-souther-USA cadence.

Well, once while working in the bank, I was counting the shipment with a teller when we heard a commotion in the lobby. The teller said "We're being robbed." So I took all the 100s, 50s, 20s, & 10s and threww them into the timed vault. The teller threw the 5s & 1s behind the vault. I then opened the door to the untimed side whichhad a small amount of cash in it. When the robber entered the vault room, he said "where's the bag?", meaning the shipment bag. I then held up the shredded bag, saying "Here's the bag". He then grabbed at the money in view, but dropped a bunch of 100s & 50s on the floor. His partner started yelling "The time! The time! We've gotta go!" And the robbers left, but not without taking a dye pack which ruined the money they did take. The police found the car they had used nearby. I did see the robber holding a gun. I am not postive it was real, but I wasn't going to test it out.
Is that heroic enough?

Depends on what you call a "good cup of coffee". If you're into all that mochachino and French vanilla crap then don't ask me. If you're into a cup of plain old Joe then I'd suggest either Tim Horton's, or if you're not fortunate enough to have one of those in your area, Dunkin Donuts. Both have really good coffee.
PBM, what's the weather like where you are?
