I Scream Truck

I know precisely where this guy is coming from:

Police said Matthew Flynn, 46, was trimming his hedges at about 6:30 p.m. when a Melly's Ice Cream truck ambled by, speakers blaring in order to lure calorie-craving children.

Flynn allegedly blew his top and charged out into the street... he held up the hedge clippers and threatened to trim two very dear and personal items from the ice-cream vendor's nether regions.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were only one truck, but after the fifth one goes by, blaring the same two bars of the same inane song at 120db, it gets old very quickly.

If we don't get a cool front soon, I might bypass the hedge clippers and go straight for the gas-powered lawn tools.
