From the Church Bulletin

Ok I’m cheating today- this is from the St. Margaret’s Catholic Bulletin in Lakeside.  But given the weather we’ve had, and the fact that at 6 degrees above zero it felt balmy yesterday, I thought it was relevant;

Cold Is A Relative Thing

65 above zero- Floridians turn on the heat; People in South Dakota plant gardens

60 above zero- Californians shiver uncontrollably; People in South Dakota sunbathe

50 above zero- Italian and English cars won’t start; People in South Dakota drive with the windows down

40 above zero- Georgians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves and wool hats; People in South Dakota throw on a flannel shirt

35 above zero- New York landlords finally turn up the heat; People in South Dakota have the last cookout before it gets cold

20 above zero- People in Miami all die; South Dakotans close the windows

Zero- Californians fly away to Mexico; People in South Dakota put on their winter coats

10 below zero- Hollywood disintegrates; The Girl Scouts in South Dakota are selling cookies door to door

20 below zero- Washington DC runs out of hot air; People in South Dakota let the dogs sleep indoors

30 below zero- Santa Claus abandons the North Pole; South Dakotans get upset because they can’t start the snowmobile

40 below zero- ALL atomic motion stops; People in South Dakota start saying “Cold enough for ya?”

50 below zero- Hell freezes over; South Dakota public schools start two hours late

And who says Catholics aren’t funny?
