    Ah, so you decided that ghosts must favor some dessert that you find disagreeable? Who is unfairly maligning ghosts now?

    No. Regardless of whether humans like it or not, the coldness rationale stands.

    But ice cream isn't the only cold dessert.

    Yes, why don't ghosts like sorbet? Why isn't "sorbet" the punchline?

    I do not have an opinion on gelato. But sorbet is based on fruit, so I enjoy it very much once it is warm enough. Ice cream is particular because it's name is so misleading. Despite having the word "ice" included, it is not an actual ingredient. This sense of dislocation is similar to some of what ghosts feel daily as part of their existential quandry of being in the world without partaking in it if fully. So this dessert has a strong ideological appeal.

    Also, EmpireSometimes, I guess you are forcing me to slow down the discussion for comedy novices. The greatest comedian of the present era is Kevin Hart. His greatest joke of all time is about ostriches. Basically, he is just explaining what happens in the natural world. It therefore stands to reason that the next funny thing to emerge would be from the supernatural. It is even implicit in the name. So then, we are arrived at ghost jokes.

    Sorbet doesn't gamble, so your logic fails.

    "But sorbet is based on fruit, so I enjoy it very much once it is warm enough".

    So, you enjoy fruit. Not sorbet.

    I don't even understand that post. I feel like there was supposed to be a joke inside.

    My eight year old daughter favours the caboose. Now, you want to call her subversive again? Because if so you're going to have a problem. A big ****ing problem.

    Bet/gamble. It's a play on words. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, though. You didn't even notice that "ice cream" sounds just like "I scream" which is what some people do when they see ghosts. You thought it was just about temperature and linguistics.

    What does gambling have to do with anything at all? When did bets come up? Being sincere, I am completely lost at this point in the conversation.
