Re: Observations about Ohioans and the cold

[Peter Clark <PGCLARK@VAC-ACC.GC.CA>]

Okeydokey, Robert.

For the rest of the world, here is a conversion chart so that you can understand the joke and have a chuckle also (but the biggest laugh ought to be reserved for Joel who thinks that it gets cold in Ohio; temp here is 5 and I am in shirtsleeves)
60 above means 15.5
50 above means 10
40 above means 4.5
32 above means 0
20 above means -7
15 above means -9
0 means -17.5
20 below means -29
40 below means -40
60 below means -52
80 below means -62
100 below means -73
etc.

Oh wait a minute ... Browns? Rams? Aren't those American football teams?

Ahhh, I see ... this isn't a who's the toughest joke, it's an American football joke! (I think)

Yes I think you are being to anal. We need a good laugh every once in a
while. I used to say the same thing about the RAMS.. The Ice age may be
coming.
