When Do You Say It's Winter?

Woke up around 1 in the afternoon and came downstairs to find mom needed help with her e-mail.

One of them, was a chain mail letter from her good friend. She opened it, and the title of it was: When Do You Say It's Winter?!

What you had to do was add to the list of things below when you think winter has officially started.

But you could not repeat what other people said.

Now, the list was very full of the most simple ideas such as:

-when it snows
-when I light a fire
-when the news stations put up their school closings bar

I told my mom to just delete it, but she wanted to add to the list, so we started brainstorming.

So, after a few minutes, I came up with an idea and added it to the list.

Very soon after we got replies back going: "OH THAT IS SO GROSS, FUNNY AND OR BRILLIANT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

What was my idea?

When you wake up in the morning and your pee warms you, it's winter.

Yep.

=)

Actually, your pee keeps the rest of your body colder in cold weather, since the body has to waste energy to keep it at body temperature. The smart thing to do, is to eliminate it as soon as possible in order to stay warm. So maybe, your definition of winter should be "when you have to pee to stay warm."

I actually disagree. Your urine is the same temperature as you are as long as it's inside you.

I read a narrative of this fellow who got stranded on a lifeboat and by holding his piss in he managed to retain that warmth.

I've never tried it.

Wow.. just wow.

But, your body has to keep it warm, and henceforth does that by burning calories. Calories which could be used to keep your body warm, instead of keeping waste liquid warm... A week of U.S. Army Winter Survival School teaches you a bit...
