Frigid offices, freezing women, oblivious men: An air-conditioning investigation

I'd hazard a guess that it has something to do with the dew point and relative humidity. My asthmatically-grumpy lungs demand certain conditions to minimize respiratory distress. It sucks.

How ironic... well placed...

don’t let her see that typo...

"Every single woman I talked to in downtown Washington on a hot, humid July afternoon was thawing out. "

Must be a lot of water condensing on them.

About a month ago my wife was complaining about it being too hot in our bedroom when she was trying to sleep. We had the temp set at 74 degrees, so I lowered it one degree to 73. That went on for about one month, and she said she was still too warm. So one night I lowered it to 72.

The next morning she ranted and raved about how she almost froze to death and didn't get a wink of sleep. By the way, she sleeps in a nightgown and has a thick quilt for a covering. I sleep in a tee shirt and underwear (I apologize for the ugly picture going through your mind) and use a flat sheet and a thin blanket for covering. I am plenty warm. (Yes, we sleep on the same bed.)

So......I raised the thermostat back to 74, and now my wife is happy again and not complaining. I hope.

It’s a trick to get the womens’ nips showing.

Yep

We’ve watched all the Friends reruns. My wife never notices Rachel’s nips until I pointed them out to her. It’s the number one reason I watched the show.
