Contest on Hot Jokes Puts Winner on Ice
Associated Press
ATHENS, Ala. —
Dave Hamlin says it’s so hot his pigs melted and the grease ran into the fields. Now he’s growing french fries.
That tall tale won Hamlin 1,000 pounds of ice in radio station WZYP-FM’s contest for the best “How Hot Is It?” joke.
Some of the runners-up:
“It’s so hot birds are using potholders to take worms out of the ground.”
“It’s so hot even stray animals get a hot meal.”
The National Weather Service reported a high temperature of 95 degrees Thursday in Athens.
