Took this at the campground today. Most of us (meaning, my co-workers and myself) have this urge to knock them down.

There’s also a bit of betting going on. Cassie says that she thinks she can lick the pole outside, and not get her tongue stuck. Cal is betting her $5 that it will get stuck. Apparently, we’re going to find out on Monday, because that’s when the temperature should be pretty low, and the pole will be nice and cold.

I feel like all Canadian kids have at some point in their life, licked a pole. You’re told by all the adults when you’re growing up, that if you lick it, it’ll stick. So don’t do it. But you can’t help but wonder if it really will… why will my warm tongue stay stuck on that cold pole? So, to satisfy your curiousity, you do an experiment. Your tongue gets stuck, you pull it off and end up bleeding.
