How poor can it get? A tell tale.

There is this friend of mine who is pretty good at spinning stories and making people believe in everything he says. The other day he goes - 
"I visited this cafe and bar in the city this afternoon. Not too crowded. They have a wonderful set of beverages. They actually have a good collection of hard bound books to read while you are there. Imagine actual books in E-fied world. Surreal! I ordered tea while leaving through "Journey to the center of the earth". I must've been there about an hour before I decided the best beverage to pair with my winding story is Pale Ale. I emptied a few glasses of ale along with Jules Verne's classic before calling it a day."

A simple narration but I made out quite immediately that it was all a tale. How did I guess?

Simple. He had 'T'ea before Ale. Get it? ;-)
