Step 1: Find an icicle with a sense of humor
Not all icicles are created equal. Some are serious and stoic, while others have a quirky sense of humor.
Look for the icicle that's willing to crack a joke or two. If it's just hanging there, unmoved, it's probably not the one.
Warning: Making an icicle laugh can lead to spontaneous freezing and subsequent shattering on impact.
