  Years ago I was working a basketball game.  I had been inside for some
time but this night it was zero out (with a -20 wind chill, which the
weatherman said it was) and for some reason no outside guys showed up to work. 
Volunteers were called for and no on
   I on a forlorn lot at one gate and another fella at the other gate about
a half block away.
   We were not dressed for cold weather: no long johns or other layers,
boots, etc.  
   We were for a few hours and nearly froze to death.  I made an oath,
similar to Scarlet O'Hara who after eating rotten carrots to never go hungry
again, that I would never again complain about the heat.  Over 25 years later I
have kept to that oath.  About 
   When I got home I jumped into a hot bathtub and my toes were blue.
   At the next game I told this to other fella I was working with.  He was
a very dark complexioned black guy who said his were too.  I asked how could
he tell and said to trust him, they were.  :)
