"Ice cream unleashes the uninhibited eight-year-old's sensual greed that lurks within the best of us. I do not celebrate the Spartan scoop of vanilla the incurably constricted grownup suffers to cap a pedestrian dinner. I sing of great gobs of mellow mint chip slopping onto your wrist as your tongue flicks out to gather the sprinkles. I sing of champagne and rum raisin and two spoons in bed on New Year's Eve. I sing of the do-it-yourself Sundae freakout with a discriminating collector's hoard of haute toppings - wet walnuts, hot fudge, Home-made peach conserve, Nesselrode, marrons, and brandied cherry -- whisk-whipped cream, a rainbow of sprinkles and crystals and crisp toasted almonds, inspiring a madness that lifts masks, shatters false dignity, and bridges all generation gaps."
                    - from Bite by Gael Greene

There was an old couple who were always forgetting things.
They were always forgetting milk at the grocery store, etc. So one day they decided to make a list of the things they need at the grocery store. They went to the grocery store with their list and didn't forget a single thing. The old couple were so proud of themselves, that they decided to celebrate.

"You know," the old man said, "I could really use an Ice Cream Sundae right now with nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, hot fudge, caramel, and a cherry on top."

The old woman says, "You know, that really sounds good. I'll go make it."

"You should make a list or you'll forget," the man warned.

"Oh no. This is so good I won't forget," she argued back.

The old woman goes into the kitchen and starts making the Sundae. An half hour later she comes back out with eggs, bacon. sausages, pancakes, and hashbrowns.

The old man shakes his head and says: "I told you to make a list! You forgot the toast!"
