In the summer of 2014, an 86-year-old man returned from the wine cellar with a bottle of wine to accompany his meal, but was found to be wearing his parka, hood, and gloves. Thinking it was a prank, his son asked him, “Hello, Sir Shackleton”, referring to the famous polar explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, “is anyone else from your crew joining us for dinner?” However, the son, a Doctor, quickly realized that something was wrong when his father was not amused by the joke.
