Zamboni!

Fred (the hedgehog, not to be confused with Freddy the chameleon) got a job driving a zamboni at hockey games when he's not driving his semi. 

He was very excited on his first day this past weekend, but he didn't expect it to be so SLIPPERY!  He was veering all over the place.

He had the left-hand side of the arena to do, the other zamboni driver was doing the right-hand side.

He wasn't sure how close he should or could drive to the outside wall so he went very close.  It made it much easier to drive straight but he scraped off all the ads with the zamboni and the ad guys had to come put new ones on.  When he got to the far end he gassed it and fishtailed all over the place, then cleared wiggly lines right down the middle of the ice.  The other guy had to go behind him and smooth it out.

Al sat on top of the glass to watch from above, the others sat on the side ledge with their faces pressed against the glass.

It only took him one intermission to get used to it, he did much better the next time around.  He thinks he's going to like being a zamboni driver.
