Flaking out over today's 99 problems

Ice cream should go back to basics
"THE greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world the 'large 99' was an option".
Poet Charles Baudelaire's analysis of the nature of evil and challenges of acknowledging moral truths - I think I've quoted him correctly - are pertinent today.
Because today many of us may exercise our right, enshrined in the constitution, to have a 99 - something denied to us in the cold of winter and most other summers.
It's not possible to carry two bales of briquettes and a 99 at the same time. I know this because, Christ knows, I've tried.
GUILTY
And - as the Bible tells us in a letter from St Paul to the Romans, if I'm not mistaken - "when Christ knows you want an ice cream the devil lurks not far behind".
