Original message
Obama worked at Baskin Robbins.
"Hi, welcome to Baskin Robbins. What would you like?"

"A double scoop of Strawberry on a sugar cone."

"Really, are you sure?"

"What? Why not?"

"There are other flavors, new exciting flavors that you have never had."

"Really? Like what?"

"Oh, there are so many, but there are some that are not even IN the stores yet!"

"Holy cow! What do they taste like?"

" I can't say but they are a big change in what your perception of ice cream is. So exciting that we are just taking money for them now, then you will be the first to have the new flavor when it comes in."

"WOW! I want that! How much is a cone of this new ice cream?"

"I can't tell you, but if you come back in a month, we will have it, and you will be glad you waited. Everyone is excited about it."

"Ok.OK! I will be back in a month and that's when the new ice cream will be here?"

"Don't call it ice cream, it's more than that. It's a whole new paradigm of pleasure that makes old ice cream, well OLD!"

"Thanks for telling me this! I am so excited! I will see you next month."

"Ok....see ya then!"

Obama adjusts apron.

6 years later: CONDI TOLD ME IT WAS STRAWBERRY FLAVORED! IT'S NOT MY FAULT! That's why I'm not going to apologize for giving you that.

Nobody saw it coming.

3. LOL! Sounds like he at least took time to read the menu before his sales pitch, and knew
what was being offered without relying on what others were saying. :eyes:

8. What about McCain?
He would be the greeter and he would say,

"Welcome to Basking Robbins, I love you."

We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh yeah...the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

33. As long as he's not working for them now, no.
Unfortunately, they got bought up by the "Carlyle Group" division of the Bush Crime Family a couple years ago. Dunkin Donuts too. There's a Baskin Robbins right down the street. Fortunately, there's a Safeway on the same block that sells Ben & Jerry's so I don't have to give Poppy Bush any more money.
