Ice Man
|
In the summer of 1940 a young ice man drove his pickup truck up and down the streets looking at the "ice cards" hung on the screen doors of the residents who had ice boxes. The cards had 3 quantity requests; either 10 lb, 20 lb or 30 lb blocks.
It was difficult times and two spinster sisters lived alone and sometimes would show their card for 10 lbs. The young man knew they never paid their bill but he always stopped and took all the broken pieces off his truck and packed their small wooden ice box.
One day, after he had packed their box one of the sisters stepped out on the back porch and asked to speak to the young man. She seemed very shy and embarrassed, saying, “Young man, my sister and I know you have helped us knowing we could not pay. We have read in books that sometimes women offer their bodies in exchange for favours. Since we have no money we decided to do that for you and since I am the youngest I am offering myself."
The young fellow tried to convince her that he appreciated the offer but that it was not necessary he was happy to help out. She adamantly insisted they wish to repay his kindness and he finally consented and they proceeded.
After he dressed he took out his receipt book and wrote "PAID IN FULL" and handed it to the sister.
She looked at the bill for a second and stated firmly, "Now, look here, young man, we got that ice a little piece at a time and we intend paying for it the same way!" |
