Is the flavour of the ice cream relevant? the make? Is it relevant when this happened? Was he suddenly no longer able to get his 'favourite' ice cream where he lived and had to move country to be able to buy it again? Is it relevant that it was one pount? Could it have been two? One kilo? | ||

Was the ice cream flavor already available when he immigrated? Was he the creator of the flavor? Did he immigrate because of some ingredient? Or to get a patent for the flavor (can you get patents for ice cream flavors...?)? Or to sell the ice cream? Or did he immigrate in order to eat the ice cream? Was it a flavor that didn't exist in the country where he came from? Was it a country one in which ice cream in general didn't exist? | ||

Did he truly emigrate, as in change his permanent location of residence?

FSEI? LTPF lists of relevant centuries and decades, please. Let's assume UK and for sure US in the seemingly true story. 20th century, the forties-fifties Was the ice cream flavor already available when he immigrated? Yes Was he the creator of the flavor? No Did he immigrate because of some ingredient? No Or to get a patent for the flavor (can you get patents for ice cream flavors...? Probably yes, but irrelevant)? No, the relation to the flavor is not important and too lateral Or to sell the ice cream? No Or did he immigrate in order to eat the ice cream? Noish Was it a flavor that didn't exist in the country where he came from? No Was it a country one in which ice cream in general didn't exist? This is OTRT, but look out for FAs. No to the rest Did he produce ice cream for living? Did he sell ice cream for living? Did he set up an ice cream business in the place where he immigrated to? If so: would the business be equally successful in the place where he emigrated from? | ||

Yesish, might mislead Was Bob a victim of the war (I mean more than being a citizen of a country in war)? No RECAP: Tim (an American sergeant) meets Bob and other British guys during a war and gives them ice cream from the American military supplies. As a lateral result of this fact Bob decides to leave his country and does so after the war is over. The flavor and other characteristics of ice cream are all irrelevant. What happened after the encounter or before that is also irrelevant. Only the meeting and its context is relevant | ||

Did Tim get the ice cream from a vehicle? If so: a car? a plane? Yes! was Bob so impressed by the method of refrigeration No that he decided to move to the US Yes to work in that industry? No was is north Africa? in the desert? Yes to both, no to the rest on the coast? did the ice cream come straight off a ship? from a truck? ******* SPOILER ******* Mircea Eliade records in one of his notes, under January 18th, 1977, Chicago, the following story presumably told by Univ. of Chicago Professor Norman Perrin, who had died a few months earlier (our Bob): Bob and a few fellow soldiers from British forces were walking through the desert, exhausted. At some point they meet an American patrol, and the sergeant in command (our Tim), after greeting them, asked them if they wish some ice cream, to feel better. They were half nervous, half amused, but they decided to play along. So the sergeant asked what their preferences were and he noted on a piece of paper the order -- chocolate, strawberry, etc. At last, he asked: one pound for each is enough? Yeah, they answered, barely hiding their laughter. The sergeant took his walkie-talkie, ordered, and in less than half an hour a plane circled around and dropped a box with the order. At this point Bob made a commitment to himself: If I will ever get alive, I will go to the US: with such a wealth and organization, they no doubt must have the best universities in the world. He died in 1976 as a professor at Chicago University. Thanks to all for playing, especially Redwine and Balin for their heavy work! |
