Just heard something VERY interesting from a friend in Savannah.
It gets pretty humid down there in the summer.
DAMN IT, IT'S HUMID IN AUGUST!"
"It seems to me the only people who are surprised about the weather are the people who report it on tv. It's like they get amnesia every year! Now like from where I am in Texas, this is the weather in a nutshell: it's pretty much the same like up here. In the spring it's nice, it rains a little bit. In the fall it's beautiful, the winter's cold and in the summer it's hot and humid - write it down. But every year I hear some Texas weatherman end his forecast by saying, 'and I don't ever remember it being this humid in Texas ever before.' I wanna see the sportscaster lean over and just go POW! 'Last August. Here's a guess, probably next August.'"
There's history involved in humidity, folks. Did you know 5,000 years ago when the Mississippi Indians made their way across this great country, left behind beautiful burial grounds and hierogylphics. When the hieroglyphics were translated, know what they said?
'DAMN IT, IT'S HUMID IN AUGUST!"
