I learned that it's supposed to hit -14° here tonight.

I'm thinking about triple dog daring myself to stick my tongue to a flagpole.

Well, I got close.

Since we don't have a flagpole, I asked my wife if she triple dog dared me to stick my tongue the the storm door, which went a little something like this:

Me: "Hey, do you triple dog dare me to stick my tongue to the storm door?"

Wife: "Go ahead. I'm not gonna f***ing help you though."


So yeah. I pretty much totally wussed out on that deal.

So how does a person get their tongue off after the pain and I'm guessing frost bite. I'm guessing warm water.

This would be something that would fester in me until I tried it or witnesses someone else trying it. It's part of being OCD. You wonder so much as to what the outcome and effects of an action are you obsess on it until you actually try it.

It's like what would happen if I stuck my tongue to the top of a 9volt battery. Obsess. Obsess. Obsess. And before you know it I'm trying it.


Actually its a very effective method for determining if the battery is good or not.

I tried it when I was in 5th grade. Stuck my tongue to one of the shelves in the freezer. Unfortunately, I was the only one home at the time and, like most 5th grade aged boys, had absolutely zero backup plan. So I went with this technique:



It wasn't until several months later that I discovered that the shelves were removable. I could've just slid it right out and it would've thawed itself free in like 10 seconds. And just for the record, there's a LOT of blood stored in the tongue.

I understand that, but when it comes to pain, it's not worth it.
