If the question is "Do I really need one and a half pints of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream I am going to eat by myself while watching The Shield on DVD?" then it turns out the answer is "ROCK!"
Also: Asking for a plastic spoon is a good way to let the deli guy know you do not have your own silverware and are therefore not a Real Person.
Also: When you ask for the spoon and the deli guy says "Just one?" Saying "yes" doesn't necessarily imply you're a loser with nobody to share ice cream with, it could be that you have one person you're intimate enough with to share an ice-cream spoon with, and it being 2 AM, maybe you just boned that person, or are en route to boning.
It doesn't mean you ARE any of those things. It's not about what your actual life is like, though, it's about what the deli guy thinks your life is like.
