Your Say
I'd suggest that ice cream trucks are the perfect cover for the x-ray everything in sight vans being fielded by dhs et al.

If I remember correctly, and I was only 4 or 5 years old at the time, the only record I had to play on my first record player was a 45rpm with "Little Brown Jug" on one side and "Camptown Races" on the other. I didn't care, I was more fascinated with the workings of the record player than the music.

Tired dog... makes you wonder why they got rid of all that lead paint in homes.

The song played on ice cream trucks in Oklahoma City is usually 'Ach du lieber, Augustin.' Regardless, it carries just as well. When the truck passes by this afternoon, I intend to get a couple of Nutty Buddies. For some reason, ice cream from an ice cream truck is better than other ice cream.
