Man, those damn things are expensive!

Trouble with that as a jibe is that you have to work when everyone else is off.

Yes, did it probably 40 years ago. Got robbed. Quit doing it 40 years ago.

If you're slanging that ice cream, you've got to make sure it's good.

How bout this?
Get a small sweeper truck and a second shift job.
Hit a few walmart and grocery store parking lots on your way home.

ETA: You could still play the goofy music if you want.

His “ice cream” re up is in Bogalusa.

Health inspections and dealing with the often overweight inspectors.

In Houston, a totally obese guy stopped by to visit my co-worker who was three years out of college.
When obese dud left, my co-worker came into my office and he was laughing so hard he could hardly talk. Finally he said," That guy was in college with me and was slim and trim. Now he works for Harris County as a restaurant inspector and he only inspects ice cream shops."

That would be about a two hour drive for him. A long way to go to sell nothing..
