Thermodynamics, You Take It From Here, Part 19
I am working at a small ice cream stand in a theme park. It’s a very hot day, so I am getting a lot of customers.
Customers: “I’d like three cups of [flavors], and we’d like those to go.”
Me: “All the ice cream is to-go. It comes in either cups or cones.”
Customer: “No, I mean we want to eat it later.”
Me: *Confused* “So, you want to order it now and come back later?”
Customer: “No, you stupid girl! We want to take our ice creams now, but to go! To… go! We want to eat them later.”
Me: “You could do that if you wanted, but the ice creams will melt very quickly; it’s a hot day today!”
Customer: “Duh! Obviously! This is why want them to go, but we don’t want them to melt.”
Me: “We don’t offer any cold bags as this is just an ice cream stand.”
Customer: “I want to take the ice cream now, but I don’t want to eat it until later, and I don’t want it to melt.”
Me: “Okay, sir, I think you’ve seriously misunderstood what we mean by ‘The Magic Kingdom‘…”
