Ha ha -- No worries -- I didn't take your response in any way other than good fun! My wife (now retired) was also a teacher -- and also for both middle school and high school; she has often commented on my high-jinks of the past as things she simply wouldn't have been surprised to see her students do as well! Plus we're the parents of three (now grown) boys -- so she's had that storm of life to live through, too!
Ouch! The answer is Yes, it certainly did get cold enough and No, we did NOT ever lick the pump handle. True we weren't smart enough not to pee on the electric fence -- but we most definitely had the "don't lick anything metal when it's that cold" rule drilled into our brains. If you're suggesting that you actually did "lick the pump handle" in such cold weather -- then hats off to you! You win the challenge of dumb things we did as kids! (And once again -- Ouch!)
Naaah, I actually grew up in Portland, so 1) not cold enough and 2) not a city thing. But when I moved to Saskatchewan it was a standing joke (true? who knows!). I agree - OUCH!

Lol. Although I would imagine most people who work with computers regularly can type. I wouldn't notice if someone did that to me - I never look at the letters.
