So, I took advantage of Yahoo!'s free ice cream cone today. If you missed out on your free ice cream cone, you didn't need the calories anyway. Five of us went to Quizno's for lunch (well, four, and one came in later), then we went next door to Baskin Robbins. The creamista (like the barrista for Starbucks, except this is for ice cream) got us our ice cream and, bless his heart, he seemed clueless as to what was going on.
Anyway, the five of use were standing around in the store, as this Baskin Robbins had no chairs. Someone asked the question, "Have any of you ever dropped an ice cream cone?" (Now, this might not be the exact wording of the question he asked, but it captures the essence and intent of his question quite adequately. And, according to my memory, this is what he asked, word for word. But I congress.) Three of us had dropped an ice cream cone before, leaving two who said they had never dropped an ice cream cone before. Within five minutes of the posing of the question (though it's not a model, paper, economic, or runway), the number shifted from three to four who had dropped an ice cream cone. It was as though an improbability-drive ship engaged nearby, and rather than dropping whale bits or petunias, an ice cream leaped in vain attempt at flight.
P.S. a whole post without self-assassination or self-loathing; that improbability-drive ship must be hovering nearby!
