ALBERTA

With the heat index skyrocketing here lately, I was thinking back to when my father would always say, "It's hot enough to fry an egg on the damned sidewalk!" (Among saying other things a little more stronger).

So, I thought I'd look up that old adage on the net, and the search came up with this! Now, I don't mind someone insulting my intelligence (okay, I do!) but when I came to the part that said, "Warning, do not eat the results of this trick!"

Well!!! That's when I would think back to when McDonalds went to putting a hot caution label on their coffee. It's not like I'd try to sue over burning my own stupid lip! I do have a little bit more integrity than that (although, Mickey D's has lots more money than I have integrity).

Anyway, with all that said, I did get a good laugh when I read the instructions to “Slip, Slap, Slop”. Which, reminds me to slip on down to the local diner, slap a dollar in the jukebox, and order the same slop I've been eating for years .
