Time For Rethinking

After years and years of being the favorite anecdote with which statiscially-minded types refute the implication of causation from mere correlation, perhaps it's time to come up with another story. It could be, after all, that ice cream sales really do cause an increase in crime rates. Who knew?

I want to know this: What could possibly be so important about an ice cream sale that it would warrant the brandishing (much less the firing) of a handgun?
"I want an AstroPop!"

"Goddammit, I told you, we don't have any more!"

"I want one anyway, you raggedy, trifling bastard!"

BLAM BLAM BLAM!
Was it something like that?

Oh, because it was just too easy, I have avoided all "Good Humor" jokes. We here at Punch and Jude occasionally must have standards.

Sorry, Jeremy--I simply can't be interested in Astrosociology, but I did throw in the AstroPop just for you.
