After working on my place today I was dieing. I was overheated and sweating up a storm. It was 95° out and humid as hell. Sweating wasn't helping to cool me as the sweat wasn't evaporating.
I stepped inside and my wife handed me a beer. Not just any beer but a beer she had prepared for me. She had moved it from the fridge to the freezer when I had finished working. It had taken me almost an hour to clean up the work area and put away my tools. In other words that beer was as close to freezing as it could get without freezing.
I popped the tab and without waiting or thinking I lifted it to my lips and tilted my head back. I drained that entire can in one long gulp. I could feel the ice crystal pass over my tongue and into my gullet but I didn't care. It was fluid and it was cold. Then it hit bottom and I almost fell over.
Never dump ice cold fluid into your overheated bosy like that. We're talking the Ice Cream Brain Freeze along with the rest of the body cramping up in a total lock. All I can say is wow.
When the cramps receded I grabbed another my wife had set in the freezer and dumped it into my system just like the first. (Okay so I'm a sucker for punishment.) I could feel the coolness washing throughout my body even as a bubble formed. My head was swimming with the pain but I didn't care. My belly felt like those poor souls in Alien. I had something growing in there and it wanted out. After moving around a bit I felt that bubble move and I let loose with a belch they could hear across the street.
Man those two beers tasted good and felt even better going down but man did I pay for them.
