I used to ring bells just like that, Jen. At least be happy it's not a Mister Softee truck playing that damned jingle over and over and over again. That truck's a classic. The kids wanted their ice cream of course but I used to get adults who wanted to sit in the driver's seat. Could be the same truck, who knows?

#5 - he's outside the MoMA yet again. If you make it here, please relieve him of those damn bells.

I once had 3 hookers drive up to me in a minivan and asked if I wanted to take a ride. Seriously. I was role reversal.

I'm convinced that you can sell ANYTHING out of a truck. It makes it seem like an excellent deal.

I once drove past a stripper club in another city and parked neatly to the side were about five Schwan's Ice Cream trucks. It neatly completed the mental image I have of these people.

I have to find this guy! A long time ago I drove a truck just like that in Brooklyn for three years while I was in college. That looks exactly like my old truck! If anyone sees it please tell me whether it has the number 81 painted in the front over the driver's head.

Oooh, ice cream truck wars! Anyone else a fan of the film "Comfort & Joy?"

People seem to like to buy food sold out of a truck.

This is cute and all, but he's been parked out front every afternoon for about a week. Move it, Jose!
