A man goes into a shop and sees something he’d never seen before, so he asked the shopkeeper, “What is that?” The shopkeeper told him, “This is a thermal flask.” The man asked, “What is it for then?” The shopkeeper replied, “This thermal flask can keep hot things hot and cold things cold.” The man said, “Oh! That’s just what I need! I’ll buy one!”

So he bought one and brought it into his office the next day, feeling very proud about it. The boss asked him, “What is that that you have there?” The man said, “Oh, this is a thermal flask. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold in there.” The boss said, šOh, that’s wonderful! So what do you keep in there?” The man answered, “Two cups of coffee, and two scoops of ice cream.”
