Here's a bit of Wisconsin-style humor for a Monday morning, which came in my email yesterday -- the funniest part is, it's truer that anyone would care to imagine, at least for Wisconsinites!
COLD ENOUGH?The current temperature as I write this is 20 degrees, with a Real Feel temp of 10. We're expecting a heat wave today, however -- it's to get up to 40 degrees. I'll be sure to roll my car windows down when I go out today. ;-)
60 above zero:
Floridians turn on the heat.
People in Wisconsin plant gardens.
50 above zero:
Californians shiver uncontrollably.
People in Madison sunbathe.
40 above zero:
Italian & English cars won't start.
People in Wisconsin drive with the windows down.
32 above zero:
Distilled water freezes.
The water in Lake Michigan gets thicker.
20 above zero:
Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats.
People in Wisconsin throw on a flannel shirt.
15 above zero:
New York landlords finally turn up the heat.
People in Wisconsin have the last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero:
People in Miami all die.
People in Wisconsin close the windows.
10 below zero:
Californians fly away to Mexico
People in Wisconsin get out their winter coats.
25 below zero:
Hollywood disintegrates.
The Girl Scouts in Wisconsin are selling cookies door to door. (True!)
40 below zero:
Washington DC runs out of hot air.
People in Wisconsin let the dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero:
Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.
People in Wisconsin get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van.
460 below zero:
ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.)
People in Wisconsin start saying...'Cold 'nuff fer ya?'
500 below zero:
Hell freezes over.
Wisconsin public schools will open 2 hours late.

*hugs and ice-cream cones for your heat wave*
That reminds me: We attended university in the mountains of northern Utah -- an agricultural college that has its own dairies and (drool) ice-cream shops. It was very common to see students in sub-zero temps, all bundled up, walking along eating ice-cream cones! I myself waited until it was above freezing to eat ice cream outside. I know, I was a wimp.
