(I’m opening the store for the day, and an elderly gentleman comes over to me.)

Me: “Hello!”

Customer: “Hello!” *looks around for a moment* “Do you have your spoon?”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Customer: “Your spoon.” *produces a metal spoon from his pocket* “Do you have your spoon?”

Me: “I’m afraid I must have forgotten it.”

Customer: “Well, what will you do if you find some ice cream?”

Me: “I suppose I’ll have to use an ice cream cone instead.”

(Seemingly satisfied and nodding, the man continues on his way.)
