How Hot Is It

b"It's hot outside. It's so hot that you shouldn't text while you walk, because you could trip over something, fall down on the pavement, and cook to death. It's so hot, farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. But the heat has created a convenience factor for farmers. It's so hot, their potatoes are actually cooking underground which means all they have to do is pull one out, add butter, salt, and pepper and chomp it down. But a word of caution, if you pull one of those potatoes out of the ground, be sure you use either a work glove or a pot holder...because they are hot."
