Taisir's tongue: Priceless

BBC News (VIDEO): "The tongue of the chief coffee taster for Costa Coffee --a worldwide chain of coffee shops-- has been insured for almost $14 million. Gennaro Pelliccia personally tastes a sample of each batch of raw coffee beans at its London plant before they are roasted and shipped to its stores.

"My 18 years of experience enable me to distinguish between thousands of flavours," he says.

Costa Coffee sells 108 million cups of coffee worldwide each year. The insurance policy was taken out with Lloyds of London.

Well, you know we're gonna have to sit T down in front of the camera and do our own version of this story.
