I miss the olden days when you could give a man physical punishment for misbehaving or underperforming.

EDIT:Stop complaining about 40 degrees....down in Alabama its about 35 and we have the December Christmas parade coming up on Saturday.

I know what you mean about the punishment part. We have the same problem here. By the way, that was 40 degrees in a 20 kt wind, so don't you say a word. The wind chill factor is 30 degrees, and that means the beginnings of frostbite start at 30 min of exposure. Remember, we were out there for 4 hrs.
