A Dish Best Served Ithaca

Well, fall is upon us here in Ithaca. Today, the temperature: cold degrees, which is the average temperature here throughout the year. In fact, "Ithaca" is synonymous with "cold" (as suggested in the title). Before it gets too cold, however, I felt it proper to post about a summer subject, in the hopes of maybe bringing back some warm memories.

Chocolate milkshakes
Are much better than revenge
When they are served cold


Now, this doesn't exactly make much sense, and that is intentional. The haiku stems from the saying "revenge is a dish best served cold." I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if you have a desire for revenge (for whatever reason), rather than enacting it, why not drive to your local McDonalds, spend that $2.19, and treat yourself to a medium chocolate milkshake. In the end, it's a much better feeling than having to wash blood from your hands. Plus they say that when you seek revenge you dig two graves (one for the other person and one for yourself). When you seek a milkshake, the only digging you have to do is into your pocket for spare change. I could really go for a milkshake right now, as a matter of fact, in spite of the freezing conditions here.
