                  “We can’t push our luck, dude,” Rudy responded.
                  Miata wanted to cover her face. It was obvious that the
            audience was siding with Rudy.
                  Rudy raised his hands and asked for silence.
                  “Plus,” he continued as he slowly scanned the audience. “Plus
            I’m going to ask for Ice Cream Day every day. Not just on Fridays.”
                  The audience roared as Rudy wobbled the box and then jumped
            off. He returned to his seat, pushing a fresh piece of bubble gum
            into his mouth.
