I shared this with a friend whose in-laws come from Wisconsin. Here is
his response:
-------------------------------------------------------------
And, as I happen to know from first-hand experience,
+75 / +24
* Wisconsinites converse about "the heat wave"
+80 / +27
* Wisconsinites begin installing air conditioning on their
fishing boats
+82 / +28
* Wisconsinites begin arriving at the hospital with heatstroke
* Wisconsinites complain endlessly that it's so hot they can't
go outside
* Wisconsin mosquitos enlarge to the size of woodpeckers and
gather in huge flocks, leaving empty husks of Marylanders
who went outside because it felt really nice
+85 / + 29
* All atomic motion in Wisconsin ceases

Gosh and gee-wilikers, I hope this doesn't start a flame war;)
