Here is a good one.

We went to the cabin (Northern Minnesota) after having been away for a few weeks. We shut off the bedrooms so they are not heated while away.
It had been extremely (-40*F) cold during the week. My son went into the bedroom, looked at the therm. in there and it read -7*F. The outside temp. was -3*F.
He said: "Hey dad, should I open the windows and let some warmer air in?"

lol, that's kinda funny.
 
Yikes!!!!! :bug:
 
Too Funny! Reminds me of a winter camping trip I took in interior Alaska when we had to open the windows of the cabin to cool it off because the wood stove overheated it. It seemed funny to me to have to open the windows when it was -45 outside.
