Ice-cream men handle cones routinely, and are inured.
They are like professionals who are used to handling sticks
of TNT; their movements are quick and skillful. An ice-
cream man will pass a cone to you casually, almost
carelessly. Never accept a cone on this basis! Too many
brittle sugar cones (the only good kind) are crushed or
chipped or their ice-cream tops knocked askew, by this
casual sort of transfer from hand to hand.
