Pic of the Day: Guaranteed To Satisfy

M2RB:  Van Halen

Yes, I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
They say all my flavours are guaranteed to satisfy
Ah, one time

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
They say all my flavours are guaranteed to satisfy
One time, boys!

I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Ah my, my, my
All my flavours are guaranteed to satis-uh-fy
Ow

They only meant to thank him, but instead they made poor George Brownridge a laughingstock. 

When a women's group he had entertained placed this notice of thanks in their local paper, they had no idea it would go viral.  Although, it has to be said, he might have enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame - as it made him sound like a bit of a stud. 

Several years on, and the cutting is still knocking about the internet - and still making people chuckle.

 

It congratulated him for: 'Pleasing 15 women for an entire day!'  The ad went on: 'We were all rather exhausted and satisfied and we look forward to next year... We all thank you.'

It hasn't emerged who the legendary Mr Brownridge is or which newspaper published the notice.

Hot on the heels of his 'thank you', an apology was published in the next edition to 'George Brownridge & Staff'.
