The ice cream van from beyond the grave

I was driving back from the hospital last night and as I turned the corner into my street I was almost hit by an ice cream van hurtling round the corner in the other direction. I’d swear the thing was almost on two wheels, he was going so fast.

This was no ordinary ice cream van though. It looked like a ghost ice cream van in a horror movie. The headlights were on full beam and a faint tinkle of chimes was lurking in the background. Furthermore, it was rigged up with one of those crazy lighting systems which shine down from underneath the vehicle and light up the road. Whoever owned this particular van was in a hurry to sell ice cream and he wanted to look like a pimp whilst doing so. I was quite relieved he didn’t hit me. I can’t imagine anything more embarrassing than being killed by Huggy Bears Ices.
