Good Humor Ice Cream Truck leads MD police on chase May 2, 2008

So, here it is Friday and I wish to share a bit of “humor” aka stupid crooks.

“Charles County, MD sheriff’s deputies  arrested two men this week who say they stole more than $500.00 worth of soap and shampoo from a CVS store and lead police on a chase in a Good Humor Ice Cream Truck.  Arrested were blah & friend.  Blah is the driver of the ice cream truck….

The suspects lead police on a chase that reached speeds of 80 mph Tuesday night before the truck crashed into a Chevrolet Avalanche” ( you know those big SUV’s?)….”

This just tickled my funny bone.  Can’t you just see some 36 year old guys flooring a Good Humor truck with the police in hot pursuit after stealing shampoo & soap from CVS?

We had dueling ice cream trucks in our neighborhood the other night. Usually it is the same old Rag time music with a recording of some ding-dong shouting HULLO!.  The added bonus was a new soft lullaby in contrast from the other unknown vendor.  I wonder if they met somewhere on their route and had a territorial “discussion”?

It is a happy childhood memory anyway.  I do enjoy the thought of drag racing ice cream trucks though.
