Joe Biden is a classy guy:

Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a “smartass” after the man asked him to lower taxes.

Biden made the comment after the Kopp’s Frozen Custard shop manager told him that his dessert would be on the house if he lowered taxes.

“What do we owe you?” Biden is heard saying in footage captured by WISN-TV.

“Don’t worry, it’s on us,” the manager replied. “Lower our taxes and we’ll call it [the custard] even.”

“Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time?” Biden said a few minutes later.

Biden later told the manager that he was joking. Sure.

So, if you meet the vice president, don’t ask for your taxes to be cut, because if you do, you’re a “smartass.”

As a dedicated smart ass, I can honestly say that his comment wasn’t even close to being a smart remark. Trust me, I’d love to smart off to the guy.
