Something I got in the mail from a friend today;
"Cold" is a relative term. Use the handy list below to overcome the confusion.
Degrees (Fahrenheit)
65 Hawaiians declare a two-blanket night
60 Californians put on sweaters (if they can find one)
50 Miami residents turn on the heat
45 Vermont residents go to outdoor concerts
40 You can see your breath, Californians shiver uncontrollably, Minnesotans go swimming
35 Italian cars don't start
32 Water freezes
30 You plan your vacation to Australia
25 Ohio water freezes, Californians weep pitiably, Minnesotans eat ice cream, Canadians go swimming
20 Politicians begin to talk about the homeless, New York City water freezes, Miami residents plan vacation further South
15 French cars don't start, Cat insists on sleeping in your bed with you
10 You need jumper cables to get the car going
5 American cars don't start
0 Alaskans put on T-shirts
-10 German cars don't start, Eyes freeze shut when you blink
-15 You can cut your breath and use it to build an igloo, Arkansans stick tongue on metal objects, Miami residents cease to exist
-20 Cat insists on sleeping in pajamas with you, Politicians actually do something about the homeless, Minnesotans shovel snow off roof, Japanese cars don't start
-25 Too cold to think, You need jumper cables to get the driver going
-30 You plan a two week hot bath, Swedish cars don't start
-40 Californians disappear, Minnesotans button top button, Canadians put on sweaters, Your car helps you plan your trip South
-50 Congressional hot air freezes, Alaskans close the bathroom window

That about sums it up, Ken.
I think there is a bit of exaggeration there.
Water freezes at 32F no matter where you go.
I have seen that some years ago, but it is still funny.

Yeah, don't I know it! A few years back a group of us in the industry took a (business)holiday to Dusseldorf for a trade show. In early Feburary...
It was around 30C on the Gold Coast at the time. About twenty-eight cramped-cattle-class-flying-hours later we were feeling the cold air actually freez our very thoughts before they were even formed :bigrinnin:
Oh, man, it hurt to breathe! But we kept drinking until we couldn't feel it anymore. We were there a week, loved it, but learned a healthy respect for cold climates!
And developed an unhealty passion fo German Frauleins :whistle:

You, Ozy, and others from warm climates, stepping into our
deep freeze, you could die from the shock to your system.

Hmmm....
I might be able to use a variation of your quotation to my advantage today when I am asked by "you know who", the question ...
"What ? Are you stupid or something ?"
I can reply with a slight variation in the first person based on a comment above...
"I am feeling the cold air actually freeze my very thoughts before they were even formed..."
and blame it on you Ozy. That way, I'm off the hook ! :bigrinnin:
Why are you Gold Coast guys called "Banana Benders" ?
It can't be good...

Glad to be of service... *Ozy, takes a bow*
About the Banana Benders, most of the state is sub-tropical and perfect for banana plantations, sugar cane and the like. So just a state nickname. Also a bit of a reference to our supposed intilligence level...
Did you hear the one about the Queensland Banana plantation owner? He went broke. He threw out all the bent ones!! :lol:
Also because of the sugar cane and the imported pest, the cane toad (an ugly brute brought in to clean up some pesky bugs and now running in amlost plague numbers with no natural predators), in a lot of interstate sports we are called the 'Cane Toads', as opposed to the southern states, the 'Cockroaches' :bigrinnin:
