My family made a road trip across the Kansas to Colorado in July. Dad knew it would be hot and thought he had a solution for the problem of the ice in the cooler melting so fast. He went downtown and bought some dry ice to put in the cooler. At the time his favorite snacks were fudgecycles and he thought, hell, I can take fudgecycles on this trip.

About halfway across Kansas my brother unwrapped a straw & dropped wrapper on the front floorboard. It got sucked up into the airconditioning system and broke it. It was about 110 degrees and Dad was really pissed.

Then he remebered his treats in the dry ice and decided a fudgecycle would be just the thing. He bit into a fudgecycle & it was frozen so solid it broke off one of his front teeth.

The car was a dark green Ford Tornino with black vinyl seats. Dad was wearing his favorite black shirt with white polka dots (like the one Neil Diamond used to wear). It got so hot in the car that the white polkdots melted and stuck to the front seat.

That old Torino was sold about 20 years later and those white polka dots were still stuck to the seat.
