CLEVELAND, OH — As a severe heatwave continues to rock the Midwest and Eastern United States, the nation’s women have, one by one, begun to bravely transition from “absolutely freezing” to “pretty cold.”
Experts have confirmed that adult human females all around America are slowly starting to shed the outermost layers of their 24 blankets around a base layer of eight sweatshirts in response to the now over-100-degree summer temperatures.
“It’s starting to feel a little bit more bearable, but I’m still pretty chilly,” said local woman Izzy Krabb as she shucked two parkas of the twelve she was currently wearing. “I’m not saying I’m warm yet, but the 103-degree weather is definitely a step in the right direction. Brrr!”
“O-o-okay, this is a lit-t-t-tle warmer,” agreed Helena Roberts, who was enjoying the withering gaze of a 110-degree full sun as she fought to control chattering teeth beneath the seven winter coats she was wearing. “I g-g-guess I could-d-d-d take off one of these down jackets.”
“I think I’ll be okay without these mittens for a few minutes” another woman named Sarah Carew reportedly said, her voice slightly muffled by the three scarves she was wearing. “I’m still a little cold, though. Does anyone else want hot chocolate right now, or is it just me?”
At publishing time, America’s ladies had changed their minds about feeling freezing and requested that everyone turn up the thermostats “just a few more degrees as it still feels a bit nippy out.”
Go here to read the rest. With my Newfie blood, I do not feel a chill in the air until it is in the thirties, while my Bride told me that this perfectly describes her. Fortunately this has made her eager to snuggle with me for body warmth during our 41 year marriage, something I have not minded in the slightest.
True. I’ve measured this. Think it’s a male hunting adaptation.
After 30 years of marriage she still asks: “don’t you need a jacket??”… “aren’t you hot?”.. to which I answer: “no I’m just a bit uncomfortable”.
Must be young(er) female bc dh swears in trying to kill him w AC/cold
It’s a constant battle of the sexes at work. AC on AC off, AC on AC off…
I think trans people would be giving themselves an uppercut punch.🥊
I have often said this is God’s method of keeping men and women together. The wives who are cold, cling to their husbands who are warm, if not hot. I know of only one couple where it was reversed.
