Poll question:

How many guys here have wives who mistakenly think that when warming up
a cooled down house the rate of temperature change produced by a typical
home heating system will be faster if they shove the thermostat setting
all the way up to 90F than if they just move it to the appropriate setpoint.

Then of course, they forget to reset it when the place reaches a
comfortable temperature which some time later causes the man of the
house to snarl, "Why the hell is it so damn hot in here?"

Ah, but there is a difference here. As I heard it, God created
Adam, and he said "Yoicks its hot! I can't wait to invent air
conditioning." Shortly afterwards, God takes advantage of Adam
knocking himself out trying, and creates Eve. Her first words are
"Good God, it's cold in here, why not create some warm clothes and
central heat!"
And it has been a problem ever since.

unless he's sweating a little.

I can relate to Sam McGee, oh yeah! Don't bury me in cold Fort
