Ruthie - To get out of the heat...

heat is gross.


to get out of the heat:
1. snow balls feel nice when dunked down your back
2. canals are great for nutria rides
3. I heard swimming in the lake cures warts
4. the mist machines at Jazz Fest are irrigation tunnels for the restless
5. sometimes if you're next to a fat person at Mardi Gras their sweat gets on you
6. cry - a puddle of your own tears will cool you.
