It was so cold, I think I saw a polar bear moving in down the street.
I noticed something, the more the news media and the weather professionals talked about the record setting cold, the colder I became. It was weird. I was getting cold just hearing people talk about the cold.
And it seemed colder outside, too.
I thought I could see my breath in the office. I even had to put my sports coat on because I started to get cold and it was still 40 something degrees outside. And then the temperature started to drop. By 9 PM last evening, it was 16 degrees and falling.
This morning at 4:48 the temperature reached a frigid 2.7 degrees and probably would continue to fall as dawn was still two hours away.
Just more excitement, compliment of Mother Nature.
So, I thought a couple of cold jokes would be nice:
Q: Why does it take longer to build a blonde snowman than a regular one?
A: You have to hollow out the head.
It was so cold that:
-Some people walked around for days with spoons or forks stuck to their tongues!
-Hitchhikers were holding up pictures of thumbs!
-Roosters were rushing into Kentucky Fried Chicken and begging to use the pressure cooker!
-When I dialed 911, a recorded message said to phone back in the spring!
-The optician was giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of eyeglasses!
-Kids were using a new excuse to stay up late: "But Mom, my pyjamas haven't thawed out yet!"
