Fifty years ago I played golf on a 108° day, and all of us were bitching about the heat--except one middle-aged fellow. So I asked him, "Doesn't this heat bother you?"

"I fought at the Battle of the Bulge. And I was so cold there that I swore I would never again complain about hot weather."

Great story. As it happens, the Battle of the Bulge veteran I lived across the street from was a lifelong Floridian — except for his tour of Europe with the US Army during WW II.
