Most business people slash their prices to get more business, not their wrists.

So much for that whole "Good Humor Man" thing...
Posted by: Wes S. | May 29, 2008 at 11:33 AM
...or should that have been the "I Scream Man?"
Posted by: Wes S. | May 29, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Aw, c'mon ... they're just a bunch of softees.

"who would you kill for a klondike bar?"

Actually, he couldn't take the "It's A Small World" song he was forced to play all day, so he stabbed himself.
Posted by: Reddsuss | May 29, 2008 at 11:52 AM
He cuts his arm, he cuts his face
But the cops don't believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But it simply won't deceive
You've been taught, keep it cold
And it won't melt on the floor
Still he stands there feedin',
Info that's misleadin',
'Cause he wants you out the door
When he says he wants true justice
It's such a clever masquerade
He can't sell enough gelato
His fingerprints are on the blade
They're still on the blade

So now there's an Arab Mafia? Not that there's any such thing as The Mafia.

I understand there was a killer with an ice cream truck in "Dexter" too, but I've never seen the show...
Posted by: Steve Haller | May 29, 2008 at 12:16 PM
psssst, cj, that's why i love you...
if i recall correctly, an ice cream truck played predominately in "killer klowns from outer space" too.

Posted by: queensbee | May 29, 2008 at 12:24 PM
We have the scariest, creepiest ice cream 'man' ever. He looks like Jack Nicholson off his meds. His old grey van lumbers down the street playing, as my son called it, 'the song of a deranged clown.'

Ice cream academy trainee: "Ice cream? I got your ice cream right here!"
Academy trainer: "Very good, Achmed. Now this time say it with a bit more menace and maybe a forward thrust with the knife. Oh, and try saying 'youse' instead of 'your.'"
Posted by: Hammond Rye | May 29, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Steve, never saw that one.
We have an ice-cream truck guy that rides around our 'hood playing the god-awfullest creepiest music you can imagine (without being Manilow). I feel like taking my machete to him one of these days...
Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Is it a religious requirement that all Arabs carry boxcutters? Am I a racist for asking that? It was in the story, dammit.
Posted by: Margaritaville | May 29, 2008 at 12:47 PM
and *snorks* @ cg and Meanie's lovely tunes.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 12:48 PM
There have also been cases where they sell more than ice cream. Since they're combining their 'errands' into one trip, does that make them economically 'green?'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 29, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Yes.
Posted by: Al | May 29, 2008 at 12:52 PM
The bot ate my name.
Posted by: Al *Duuuuuude* Gore | May 29, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Turns out there's also an ice cream truck in that opera based on Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth"...
Posted by: Steve Haller | May 29, 2008 at 12:55 PM
There was a B movie (actually more of a D- movie) with Clint Howard playing a psycho killer who drives an ice cream truck....
I remember watching it on Joe Bob's Drive-In theater or whatever....
Posted by: clark Kent | May 29, 2008 at 01:02 PM
Growing up (as if), my favorite ice-cream from the truck was the fudge bomb.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 01:04 PM
And for all your pervs out there overloading your dirty minds...
*SMACK*
Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 01:06 PM
Clint Howard pretty creepy all on his own.
Posted by: baligurl | May 29, 2008 at 01:07 PM
I always liked the Mickey Mouse head. I always ate the ears first. Is that wrong?
Posted by: Erb's point | May 29, 2008 at 01:07 PM
The ears were made of chocolate ice cream if that sways anyone.
Posted by: Erb's point | May 29, 2008 at 01:10 PM
I'd eat the ears first too, Erb's P. Like I eat the legs of gingerbread men cookies first. I'm
weirdspecial that way.Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 01:13 PM
That's so they can't run away.
Had a boss who would bite the heads off of animal crackers. First he'd sneak up behind them. Really.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 29, 2008 at 01:21 PM
I used to explain to my daughter that the proper way to eat an animal cracker is to bite the head off first. That way they wouldn't suffer. It didn't seem to affect her. Much.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | May 29, 2008 at 01:27 PM
Your time will come, you b*stards!
Posted by: Headless Giraffe | May 29, 2008 at 01:33 PM
and choco easter wabbits- i bites the ears off first. how much do these icecreams cost now - 10 bucks or so? they were 15 cents in 195...whenever.
bungalow bar, tastes like tar
the more you eat it
the sicker you are.
a rhyme from my youth.
Posted by: queensbee | May 29, 2008 at 01:36 PM
*WAVES headless animal cracker @ Hammie!!!*
Posted by: Siouxie | May 29, 2008 at 01:37 PM
Maybe they should offer non-competing products. It could be come a new delicacy.
Posted by: Not my usual alias | May 29, 2008 at 01:41 PM
*Waves @ Siouxie!!!*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | May 29, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Ick. I'm never gonna be able to eat an ice cream bar again.... Well, at least until it gets a lot hotter...In dis part of Joisey, youse can't catch the ice cream truck - he goes by at about 50 mph.

You want the scoop? You can't handle the scoop!

Death, I'll take your challenge, 'cause I KNOW I can handle the scoop

I drove an ice cream truck one summer. I still can't get that music out of my head. My 3 children tease me about this once in a while.
However, there was one time when I used it to pick up my wife at the airport from the passenger drop-off area, And yes, I had the music on as loud as it would play. She had to sit with the cold stuff all the way home.
We're still married.
Posted by: emkeane | May 30, 2008 at 01:19 AM
Isn't this similar to the movie "Comfort and Joy"?
