Ice Dream

I have a secret wish. As a Brown CS student, I'm supposed to want to work for a company like Google or Pixar or become a professor and solve P vs. NP. But I have a better plan. After college is done, I'll get a master's and work for a company for a few years to save up some money. Then I can start my life's true work. I will found the world's first CS-themed ice cream parlor: Silly-cone. Every flavor will be a pun on some concept, person or company in computer science. Cones will come in size "base case" or "inductive step". With negligible probability, your cone will be free. When companies invite me to come sell at their events, I will bring my portable ice cream freezer, or "Touring Machine". In this way, I will make my dream of uniting ice cream and computer science (NP) complete. And who knows? Maybe I'll even have time to prove the quadratic residuosity assumption.
