"How cold is it?" -- very funny junk mail

by way of ljw5@nysaes.cornell.edu Lynn Whited (ljw5@nysaes.cornell.edu)
Wed, 7 Feb 1996 13:01:17 +0400


This came off a newsgroup for upstae NY. Please note -60 and -80 degree
scouting references....I always new Girl Scouts ere tougher than Boy Scouts
(enormous grin)....
I found this very humorous, so enjoy!
