It was the story of a person trying to buy an ice cream cone, and being told first- there was a problem, second- the transaction was void and lastly, it was void because Ice cream was a non-essential. Then the person suggested buying bit-coin and silver - and received silence. Personally, it would have been even more funny if pops and hisses would have been heard from a short out, but to each his/her own, I guess.
