We’ve all seen it, the iconic movie “A Christmas Story”
where Ralphie Parker dares his friend to stick his tongue on a cold flagpole
where it gets stuck that’s what she said. We all have been told dozens of times about the dangers of mixing subfreezing
temperatures and the flesh of our pallet; and yet for whatever reason white
people keep doing it. This is one case
that this author personally cannot deny. To make matters worse it was decided that even though the temperature that
day was in the 90’s this author was still going to get his tongue stuck to
something. In an effort to achieve my position
within the ranks of the genetically elect white morons, while still racked with anticipation I put a spoon in the
freezer for several hours.
After some time, and with sweaty palms, I took the newly frosted silver spoon and eagerly touched my tongue to its surface. After a few seconds I tried to see if I could pull my tongue away, and to my surprise I could with very little effort. Along with my spoon came part of my tongue, and for whatever reason I decided to repeat the process two additional times despite the pain. Why do we do this to ourselves?
