Reminds me of what my rural Vermont-raised husband and brother used to do to his city cousins in the winter - they'd dare them to lick the metal utility pole next to the house, then laugh when their tongues froze to it.

He later claimed he'd been reaching in to get out some ice cream and had his tongue sort of hanging out ~ when it accidently bumped against the ice tray it froze instantly and he was stuck there.
Apparently he was babysitting his younger siblings and he got one of them to bring a phone to him so he could call for help. With his tongue frozen to the ice tray he could not articulate what his problem was in a way that could be understood and the 911 operator thought it was a crank call. The more excited he got the harder it was to understand what he was saying.
I'm not sure who got out the video camera but someone filmed him with his head stuck in the freezer, tongue securely adhered to the ice tray before he was finally rescued. I'm sure it was painful but it was one of the stupidest (and funniest) predicaments I've ever seen a kid stuck in.
We just moved to Indiana and my kids keep telling me they're going to lick the pole to our basketball goal in the front yard. I keep telling them to make sure they have a glass of almost hot water when they do because I won't come out to help them. ;-)
