Child Gives In To Temptation, Gets Tongue Stuck To Pole

POSTED: 11:44 am CST January 18, 2005

WYTHEVILLE, Va. -- It looked like a scene out the movie "A Christmas Story."

A 9-year-old boy in Virginia gave in to an age-old temptation while waiting for the school bus on a very cold day. He touched a metal pole with his tongue. His tongue stuck to the post.

The Roanoke Times reported that a local police officer talked to the boy at the scene while his dad got some warm water.

According to the newspaper, the conversation went like this:

"Are you OK?"
"Uh-uh."
"Have you learned anything?"
"Uh-huh."
"Are you going to do this again?"
"Uh-uh."

The boy's dad applied the water, and the boy's tongue was freed from the post, apparently unharmed.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Yeah, it made the local news around here, too. Reminded of the idiots in the military who were told things like "Don't lock your knees while standing in formation" and "Don't touch the side of the canvas tent when it's raining". There was always at least one who had to find out the hard way.
