We all scream in terror for ice cream?

In our house, we take ice cream seriously.  Enough to get out the knives, say the kind you might use to defend one's self against an intruder?  Because, we all know, sharing ice cream is important.  Cutting it in half, the ice cream and its styrofoam container, is the only way to assure a fair split, a smiling husband, & happy taste buds.
