Shortly after 8:30 a.m., police found the boy with his tongue stuck to a streetlight pole, Bedford newspaper The Times reported. Temperatures in Hammond were around 10 degrees at the time.

Saw it happen at Fairfax Elementary School, just east of Cincinnati, around 1970.
Same results, right down the line.
You know whats funny? The kid that did it back then remained an idiot throughout elementary, middle, and high school, and while I haven’t seen him, I’m sure he’s still basically a nice idiot today.

"the boy was able to yank his tongue off the frozen pole" YEEE-OOOWWWCH! Patience, grasshopper. Some tap water poured over the tongue will release it.

For heavens sake! You mean to tell me that the EMT’s didn’t know that room temperature water on the boy’s tongue and the pole would’ve prevented it from ripping the skin off?! Sheesh, that’s basic first aid!

The eskimo cure is to get pissed off. I saw Bear Grylls demonstrate that on his show - pissed a metal knife off his hand.
Doesn't help us gals much...
