110 IN THE SHADE
There are those that say that, in these searing temperatures, you could fry an egg on the pavement. Another reckons it’s the fault of humankind, how we’ve gone and wrecked the weather. And third just figures one man’s heat is another man’s beach-time. And a fourth merely asks, “Why is there never a consensus?” The subject’s exhausted but then a fifth shows up. The other four gag him.
