Ice Cream-Induced Killing Frenzy

A Word Of Warning

Most people who know about the existence of ice cream consider it quite
harmless, or at worst somewhat fattening.  It is not harmless.

Some time ago, a friend of mine was making a very tasty ice cream, coffee,
and cocoa mixture known as Fonzi's Special Ice Cream.  After he mixed the
ingredients in their secret proportions I was asked to stir the mixture
with a wooden spoon.

I did as instructed, but soon found that the mixture's viscosity was too
high for ordinary stirring, so I began to use more and more violence in
mixing the stuff.  After a while Fonzi returned and thought the ice cream
homogenous enough for eating.  However, I just couldn't stop stabbing and
beating that poor ice cream with my spoon.  An ex-security guard (two
meters tall) who was present at the moment failed in disarming me.  I held
on to my spoon and kept on massacring the dessert.  Finally I was forced
to drop the spoon by another Field Researcher who "happened" to be at the
party.

Several of the guests later complained about finding wooden splinters
from the spoon in their ice cream.

However, I needed an excuse for my frantic behaviour, so I claimed that
I thought Fonzi had hidden one of his "Macintrashes" under the ice cream.
Since that moment, the combination of ice cream, wooden spoons, and
Macintoshes is considered deadly by people who know me.  Even just
mentioning the word "ice cream" can be enough to make me try to kill
anything or anyone in my vicinity.

I checked the preparation of that ice cream, and I can guarantee that it
contained nothing hallucinogenic nor any other controlled substances.
However, I forgot to check the spoon.
