NOT the Good Humor man.

At what point in time did the men who drive ice cream trucks -- sorry, scary white vans with no windows -- become cracked out pedophiles? Seriously. We have two who troll, er, drive around our lovely, upscale neighborhood looking to get kids high on sugar. But they're all nasty and gross, wearing wifebeater tanktops and sporting some foul-smelling hand, rolled cigarette hanging from their gnarly lips. Ew. Like I want Boo to get a popsicle from THAT. (In fact, there's probably meth next to the boxes of ice cream for those "customers" looking for something stronger). And why the hell do they drive through at 9 p.m. RIGHT. Like I'm really going to give my kid a sugar-filled treat so she'll stay up bouncing off the walls while I'm trying to watch "
"Big Brother."

With that said, here are the 5 Worst Ice Cream Truck Stories:

**A man from Brooklyn, NY became enraged when his $18,000 custom ice cream truck was taking too long to complete. Rather than relax with a delicious snow cone, he took a train to visit the manufacturer in Oregon and shot an employee in the head.

** Cops arrested a man in Texas selling $5 to $10 bags of marijuana to school children from an ice cream truck. Police didn't witness any sales, but they found drugs mixed in with the frozen deserts (ed: told you). Although the outside showed pictures of the delicious dairy treats, the inside had plenty of drug paraphernalia. The song of the ice cream truck signaled that "pot-sickles" were coming.

** In an incident of ice cream truck road rage, the driver of an ice cream truck stabbed a man in the chest with a screwdriver in south Florida. The man told police that he was being followed by the ice cream truck and was stabbed after getting out of his car to confront the driver.

** In Kansas City, some dude flipped out after ordering an ice cream sandwich from an Ice Cream truck and started shooting. The driver had serious injuries.

** A man in the UK was convicted of piracy when he sold bootlegged CDs, DVDs, and video games from his ice cream truck.

I don't know what it is around here, but they all play "Do Your Ears Hang Low? in addition to being creepy.
