It has been a long time since I have done anything here, so this will be a double post. What should I write a double post about? How 'bout ice cream? As a former ice cream jockey I have a soft spot for ice cream related mishaps. Are we ready to go? Okay...let's do this!
So awhile ago I am at the local McDonald's. So I place my order and am waiting patiently for my food to arrive and listening to the cashier's chat. Apparently it is the one girls first day so they are teaching her the ropes. A lady walks in behind me and starts eyeing the menu. After she wipes the drool from her chin she proceeds to step up to the new girls cash register. She glances over the giant note stating that it is the girls first day so please be patient. The women orders an ice cream cone. The girl excitedly rings up her first order and proceeds to make the ice cream cone. She goes to hand the ice cream cone to the women, and she is proud of her accomplishment. The women disgustedly stares at the cone and refuses to accept it, claiming that it is too unattractive for human consumption. Admittedly, the cone is not perfect, but will that really alter the taste? The girl looks dejected as another, more experienced, co-worker makes the ice cream cone. The women is satisfied with this new cone and proceeds to down the entire top portion in one fell swoop. I think the entire thing was gone by the time she made it to the door! So the ugly cone could not be consumed in 2 bites? Really? I felt bad for the girl working and told her that I thought her cones looked great. Wait a minute... in hindsight maybe that wasn't the best thing to say. Well either I totally made some chicks day, or it just got a lot creepier.
On to story number two which is another oldie that I find to be a goodie. The wife and I were out of town and needed to gas up before heading home. We pull into this little gas station, and my eyes are greeted with one of the most confusing sights that they have ever seen. In front of me lies a women who is sprawled out across a parking space, two younger children that are hysterically crying and the most rag tag biker gang ever. They are all surrounding an ice cream cone that has obviously just been dropped and landed ice cream side down. I run into the gas station to pick up some drinks and snacks for the drive and upon returning, all is gone. All of it, even the ice cream cone. All the remains is a bit of melted ice cream and a few tears. I have so many unanswered questions! I want to know what happened here. Was the crying over the spilled ice cream? Was the ice cream thrown in anger? Why were they kids crying? What did the biker gang have to do with any of this? Do they travel the country knocking peoples ice cream cones out of their hands? If they do, they are kinda dicks. What happened to the ice cream? Was it thrown away? Possibly eaten? So many questions...
