Default How's your weather?

Well I don't know how I ended In Iraq from Ft. Worth but I somehow managed to. This was the temp from downtown Ft. Worth today and that is no photoshop there. It's horrible here with no end in sight. Were are somewhat used to this but its getting unbearable now. I work in a warehouse and you can forget about using a fan. That thing feels like a blowdryer on you. Just plenty of water.
Forgot to mention last night at 9:30 it was about 100 deg or so. Fun stuff here.

Now I feel bad about all my "It's so hot" jokes when we have only seen like 105 in NC!!!

That is hotter than two mice f***ing in a wool sock!

It is so hot, John Boehner recommended installing a fan on the debt ceiling.

It is so hot, birds are pulling worms out of the ground with pot holders.

It is so hot, my farts are spontaneously combusting.

It is so hot, I burned my fingers picking up a penny.

It is so hot, Burger King sang "If you want it your way, cook it yourself!"

It is so hot, birds dipped their worms in Nestea.

It is so hot, Bill Clinton slept with his wife, Hillary Clinton, just for those cold, icy stares...

It is so hot, computer hackers are trying to hack Dairy Queen and Ben and Jerry's

It is so hot, Al-Qaeda took credit for it.

Yep the heat seems like its everywhere and is attacking everyone! I found myself sweating while pumping gas today and I only put $20 in my tank lol. I work in different types of plants and the equipment and machinery that I work around makes it much worse. I was working at DOW chemical and they have a heat stress plan that you work for 15 minutes and break for 45 if its over 96° lol. We never got work done but got paid for sitting in the a/c. Construction workers and Industrial workers have it the hardest.

I think were on path here to break the 40 day 100+ heat record. This is were we also start to get grass fires a ll over DFW.

The sad thing is seeing d-bags all over town with their windows rolled down still trying to show off their car. Really? In this heat? Idiots, they look stupider every time I see them.

You mean trying to show off their car's loud stereo system? I don't get it - how does keeping the windows rolled down show off your car? Or did you mean show off the DRIVER? I prefer having non-tinted windows so everybody can see that it's me driving the coolest car in town, my '07 Monte!
