I was driving by Stillwell's and saw their sign from the main road as I was craving ice cream after an awesome hike for the day on Mount Major.

I tell him, "really because I've never experience that here before," and then, feeling awkward and uncomfortable I leave with my miniature ice cream (still 4.99 mind you).
