I scream, you scream, when ice cream men start fighting

6/10/2012

Forget Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley. One of the weekend's biggest fights was between Mr. Whippy and Mr. Yummy. The two ice cream men served up a window-smashing, van-ramming brawl on an otherwise quiet Blackburn street. According to the pair's would-be customers, the problems started when one of the men began shouting that he'd sell the same cones cheaper than his competitor. The cursing and arguing escalated until Mr. Yummy, Zeheer Ramzan, shattered Mr. Whippy's window with a metal bar. Mr. Whippy, Mohammed Mulla, then hit Yummy's van with his own. Ramzan says the two have been battling over the same turf. "I have tried to be reasonable," he said. "But Mr. Whippy is having none of it."
