Diamond Sue walks into a Bar, an Ice Cream Bar, that is!

Diamond Sue walks up to the bar (at Lewis Brothers Home Made Ice Cream Shop on Commercial Street in Provincetown,) and asks for a drink.  The fellow behind the bar says, "We sell ice cream here."  (He's thinking, "What is this, a joke?")  Diamond Sue insists on a drink, so the ice cream man finally asks, "What do you want to drink?"  And Diamond Sue, to his surprise, asks for an egg cream.  "We don't have that," he says, "but I can make it up for you if you tell me how, and I'll charge you the same as a soda."  So Diamond Sue shares the recipe for an Egg Cream with the "bartender", while Marash Girl listens:  "The drink (so delicious) is called an egg cream (in name only - no egg, no cream!).  It's made with some chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer - soooo good!"  And it cost Marash Girl (who was treating) the same as a soda (or as we say in New England, a tonic)!

N.B.  Diamond Sue says that if you're in the mood, you can even add ice cream!
