I learned a new expression

I wound up dealing with one of the faculty members this morning, who was having a crisis. What constitutes a crisis we won't even talk about. Finally, his assistant came in and I gave him the low down so he could deal with the situation.

Assistant: Man, I totally owe you an ice cream!

Me: Don't even mention ice cream I'm on a diet.

Assis: No dude, Ben & Jerry's

Me: I can't eat.. Huh?

Assistant now looking at me, with an SEG that conveys my density. "Think about the initials."

Me: Oh. Oooooh!

I think I'm going to go out later and see if I can get some ice cream.
