1955 - It's so hot...


Resend this email by changing the state name to whatever state you are in. I'm sure it applies everywhere. (If you're in the state of confusion, forget I mentioned this.)

IT'S SO HOT in Missouri
  .....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground.
  .....the trees are whistling for the dogs.
  .....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance
  .....hot water comes from both taps.
  .....you can make sun tea instantly.
  .....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
  .....the temperature drops below 90 F and you feel a little chilly.
  .....you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car (one on each hand).
  .....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
  .....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
  .....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 5:30 A.M.
  .....your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death"?
  .....you realize that asphalt has a liquid stage.
  .....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.
  .....the cows are giving evaporated milk.
  .....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

IT'S SO DRY in Missouri that
.....the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling
.....the Methodists are using wet-wipes
.....the Presbyterians are giving out rain checks
.....and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water!

I was going to get an image for 'hot' from google images. All I got back to look at were pictures like this. Darn.

Well, the lady may be hot but I'm sure her feet stay cool in all that shade.

John A Hill said...

She has feet?

Mike said...

Bilbo - I know what a farmer tan is. What would an untanned stomach be called?

John - I'm not sure either John. I'm going to assign you to check that out. Report back by.... oh forget it. If you manage to get that close you won't be coming back.

I'm sorry it's hot, Mike. Obviously, the lady seems to be suffering from the heat!

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Poor dear...look at all that swelling, she probably needs a lasix.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

how'd you get my picture?

Duckbutt said...

Using that "I feel lucky" search? Obviously, you were.

I'm With Stupid said...

"Hot" is subjective.

I went out to get the newspaper at 4:30 this morning and started sweating. It was ridiculously hot and humid last night.

Angel - She does look hot doesn't she?

Andrea - She needs to come to Mikes' lasix pretreatment center first.

Peg - Didn't Rick tell you he was selling them on the interne... nevermind.

Duck - Lucky and surprised.

Jay - Yes there are people that actually like this kind of weather. I think they should all be killed to get them out of the gene pool.

I hope, for everyone's sake, that the hot spell breaks soon!

She has a FULL balcony, doesn't she?

Mike said...

Heidi - It's a new definition for the word hot.
