It's like America!

Although I, too, agree that sixty degrees Fahrenheit feels like freezing, I'm still amused by others' comments about the cold.

• One science teacher said, “In the extreme cold the liver will go like this, to warm the body” and motioned that liver would expand or something.
• Another said, “My physiology is not created for such conditions.”
•  “Binta, are you among the old generation?” “I do not know what that is.” “The old age people. Matar said all those basking in the sun belong to the old generation.”
• And one morning when I was talking with some students about cold weather here and elsewhere (America, Iceland, Ghana) a student said, in reference to white people, “But for them the coldness will stop only on the outside of the skin.”
