E. Allen's P.O.V.

Three-quarters of a ways down this page is news from Utica, my hometown, about the ice cream conflict here. It involves a mobile merchant whose company goes by the name of Mr. Ding-a-Ling (no, I did not make this up for comic effect, and please don’t e-mail me the tiresome penis jokes) and his fight against city authorities for making his job difficult. He’s giving out free ice cream and other related frozen products in an effort to shore up support from the public.

Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to work.
