U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was visiting a yogurt shop in Greenfield, Milwaukee, but he thought it was an “ice cream shop”. Biden was corrected by the manager that he was in a yogurt shop, and then he participated in some photo ops and he handed out yogurt cones over the counter. Biden was smiley and happy until the store manager declined Biden’s money, when Biden asked how much his cone cost. The manager said there was no charge and it “was on the store”, but the manager then piped up this surprising remark to Biden: “Lower our taxes, we’ll call it even.” [I give you free yogurt-you lower our taxes in exchange! Haha!]

Biden then replied, “Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smart ass all the time?”

The manager was interviewed after Biden left the shop and he confessed this about Biden: “He was really nice, he’s got a great personality. I don’t think he liked my comment but then later on he whispered in my ear “just kidding”.”
