Um... ouch.

poor kid! I can't believe no one rescued him with some warm water!

Coulda been worse. He could have tried it with an electrical socket.

Or a blowtorch.

!!!! that kinda looks like gum though...

EWWWW regardless!

Remember when you were warned as a child not to put your tongue on the flagpole when the temperature outside was below freezing?

Um, it's true.

Recall also you were warned not to let a dick inside - OUCH!

Some girls took that advice to heart.

The rest are now regretting their decision.

See picture below.

This is an actual piece of a middle school boy's tongue which he left behind after he managed to get his tongue stuck to the pole this morning.

I saw the student, saw the bloody tongue, talked to his mom. It's true. It's real.

(Then I sent some kids out to photograph the evidence. )

But I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

I think life imitates art more often these days - I also think it should not, but such is me, Sarah.

My tongue sticks to ice cream spoons. I always believed that warning.

My mother also got her lip stuck to her sled when she was younger.

We were told never eat the yellow/green snow

Took the skin off my finger tips once a way back on a liquid nitrogen flask... but that tongue thing looks and sounds bloody painful

Evidently a little boy at our school stuck his tongue to a pole 3 times in one day. I don't think his being five quite explains the stupidity of doing it the second and third times! They kept sending him to the office bleeding.

LOL

I'm squirming just looking at that... and I keep making sure my tongue is still there and whole.

If I might add that life attempts to imitate art?

Did somebody double dog dare him?

 

[SlickTony]

Ouch

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Did somebody double dog dare him?

It would take at least a tripple dog dare to get me to do something so stupid

The kid clearly yanked back to solve the problem. Now we see the violence inherent in the system.

I was in third grade and one of the kids, whose name I barely knew, did the same flagpole trick. Our flagpole in South Gardiner was considerably less robust than this one. Man, Sarahh, that's a big damn flagpole! All I ever did was duck, while sledding, and stick a lower lip to some metal part on the rosebud-type sled I was riding. I spent a few minutes at the bottom of the hill unsticking myself with a tent of warm fingers over the site and a lot of drooling and whatnot to warm the damn thing. This kid musta pulled back and just ripped loose.

Another tragedy.

I was never quite dumb enough to do this. I do know a couple of people who had this happen though. (Usually with an Ice Cicle.)

I have dealt with cold injuries though. Cold sucks!!!!!!!!

stupid is as stupid does

I've had that happen to me as a kid. I was pretty stupid back then (and still am). There is no need to rip yourself free. If you see a kid as stupid as I was (am) with his/her tongue stuck to a piece of metal go inside and fetch a large pitcher of luke warm water. Slowly pour the water over the tongue and it eventually losen free - no damage done.

I once saw a guy stick his tongue to a frozen can of beer. Some people (me included) never grow out of being stupid.
