When they got to the counter, they spent an ungodly amount of time asking for samples and debating the choices, something along the line of "Oh, this flavor reminds me of last summer in Maui", "I think this one would go well with a pressed duck dinner", and so on. They finally made up their minds, got their ice cream, and moved off to the side. I got up to the counter and asked for vanilla ice cream. One of the trendies heard my request and commented: "Vanilla? Isn't that rather unimaginative?" I replied "Maybe so, but I didn't keep a long line of people waiting while I dallied about and dithered."...
I don't know what happens after we die, but if there is a place of eternal punishment and agony, I do hope there is an especially hot place reserved for people like those trendies...
