Ice scream

I usually skip Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day, but after hearing for the umpteenth that charities use it as a community fundraiser I decided to give it a slog.

I took my place at the end of the long line extending down the city sidewalk. Some were college students, a few were older, and since it was just after a school there were a lot of kids, tykes with moms and others on their own ranging from fourth grade on up.

Then it happened: the charitable donation ask, and I couldn't stop laughing. The deal was that Ben & Jerry's had dedicated all the tips for the day to breast cancer charity, so an employee was walking up and down the line calling on people to give.

Except she wasn't just asking people to donate. Instead she shouted, over and over again:

"Tips for tits, people. Tips for tits!"
