I used to work at a Dairy Queen in high school (shut up). I can still do the little curl thing at the top of the cone. It’s a trick I still use to impress my friends at parties. You know, when there’s an ice cream machine lying around.

Sometimes at DQ they’d make me do odd jobs when business was slow, like running to the bank, picking up whipped cream from the grocery store or changing the expiration dates on the perishable food items.

Twenty-year-old winger Gabriel Obertan arrived to Manchester United over the latest transfer window as a wunderkind who could eventually break into the starting lineup of one of the biggest soccer teams in the world. But he’s been hampered by a back injury that has kept him out of play for several weeks.  The Manchester coaches, however, found ways to keep him busy and make use of the 20,000 pound weekly salary.

Obertan has been washing cars, watering hanging flower baskets and even pruning the rosebushes around the team’s Carrington, England training ground.

“He could give the groundsmen a run for their money with his trimming and lawn skills,” said a Manchester United source, according to The Sun.

He better if he ever wants to make assistant manager.
