Color photograph. Under a white tent, two men in matching red aprons are serving ice cream to a student. On the left, a white man with glasses and a striped shirt focuses intently as he scoops ice cream. Next to him, a black man wearing sunglasses and a blue polo shirt is adding an ice cream scoop to a black bowl held by a young woman with long hair, wearing a dark embroidered top and denim shorts. Large tubs of ice cream are visible on the red table, including one labeled "Blue Bunny" and another with "Häagen-Dazs" printed repeatedly on the side.

"Look, we're going to give you the six scoops, but there's no way you're getting extra sprinkles!"

(Sigh) Ah, the joy of it! I saw the fulfillment of being a soda jerk, but, no, father insisted on my getting the Ph.D. (Sigh)

With yet another backhand server, "Blue Bun" Roderick leaves Simon in a Dazs as one more student goes away without any Rocky Rhodes ice cream.

You came for ice cream but accidentally signed up for a 45-minute NFL lesson.

Ice Cream always helps me through the Blue Dazs :-)
