    I am from Winnipeg. Natural selection has made us immune down to -40.

    Edit: but then we just shatter. My tombstone will say “Jim shat himself to death” and there will be a statue of me wearing shorts.

      I feel you. I’m from northern Minnesota. And the sweat rolls off of you at 70F/20C because it’s too hot out.

      I won’t have a tombstone. They cost too much…

        In Quebec, we have guys who walk in -30 hunched over a thin leather jacket smoking for warmth.

        Un dur à cuire -tough guy in leather.

        I am from around so I can’t say definitively what is Canadian about that. I meant “shat” as in the past tense of shit and a word that sounds like shattered, like the bad robot in Terminator 2 when he froze. Never the best joke if it needs explaining; I was just being a bit silly.
