Lou Costello, Comedian
His reported last words March 3 1959: "That was the best ice-cream soda I ever tasted."
Harry Cohn (1891-1958)
American Movie Producer, Chief of Columbia Studios
This is an anecdote from a story reportedly relayed by movie legend Frank Capra later in life ....
One day Harry Cohn ordered Frank Capra to visit his office without delay. Capra arrived to find Cohn - having forgotten their appointment - embroiled in a furious argument with his brother (Jack) over various creative differences. When the bell of an ice cream truck was heard from the street, Cohn stopped fighting, took orders, ran to the window, and called down the order - "One chocolate! Two strawberry!" - before going back to throttling his brother while they waited for dessert.

I love ice cream! I guess Brad Pitt meant that he couldn't do those things with Jennifer Aniston before they got married - because surely *anyone* can fart and eat ice cream in bed if they want to! ;)
I've had ice cream on my mind all day, thus the post! And I think you are spot on about BP ;)
