People are now robbing ice cream trucks
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Two armed robbers were taking the sweetness out of the job for ice cream truck drivers in the MetroWest area.

Officers said there's been a rash of robberies to ice cream trucks with children around in broad daylight. The most recent crime happened at the Timber Sound apartments on Raleigh Street.

An ice cream vendor was driving her truck around the apartments when two men armed with guns stopped her and took all of her money.

"She said she would never come back to this neighborhood because of what happened," said Larry Holmes, an eyewitness to the robbery.

Seriously, what kind of pathetic excuse for a human being would rob an ice cream truck? :mad:

3. I'm about ready to hijack the one that works this neighborhood
Imagine someone driving down the street playing "Pop Goes The Weasel" over and over and over with the volume set to eleven. You can't get away from it. You can't close your ears. The fucking guy starts work at 8am and I'm still in bed then--when you work 3pm-midnight you do that.

I'm gonna pull a Falling Down on this cocksucker. First I'm gonna block him in. Then I will remove that damn noisemaker thing from his truck and beat it flat with a sledgehammer. Finally, I will buy an ice cream and go back inside.

Not only is doing this completely legal, they give you Civic Improvement awards for doing it.

Oh yeah. The guy sells pickled pigs feet in addition to ice cream. Has 'em in a jar right on the counter.
