Last Monday was Dairy Queen's 75th anniversary or something like that. The more important thing is, they were giving away free cones.

I happened to be in Florida visiting two friends, so I relayed this joyous news to them, and we drove to DQ. Now we arrive, and it's apparent this news is not secret because everyone and their mother, father, dog, cousin, and future children are there.

We haven't been in line more than a minute when the cashier announces, "We are out of cones. We have no more free cones. The deal is over."
