Title: Trying to get steam to shoot out your ears
Post by: bandit957 on June 11, 2023, 10:38:15 PM
Have you ever tried to get steam to shoot out your ears when you're angry?

Once when I was about 10 years old, I tried to get steam to shoot out my ears after I saw Fred Flintstone do it. I tensed up with all my might. But it didn't work.

I think what prompted it was getting frustrated with a book I had to read in 5th grade and having to take a very difficult test on it.

Well, what works for me, y'see, is I take a gander at a really beautiful dame. She's got a slinky black dress and her legs go all the way up, and she's smoking a cigarette at the end of a really long pipe thing.

Then I says to myself, that's my kinda woman. And my heart rips out of my chest and starts beating. I lift off the ground with both feet. My hat flies up, there's an "ah-oo-ga" sound effect, and then steam comes out of my ears.

Then she opens her dress and it's actually a giant stick of dynamite with a lit fuse. Ah well. Got me again.

When I was young I often wondered how those cartoon characters didn't die from having their insides burned so throughly by hot steam.

The same way Wile E Coyote survived all those falls unscathed, and the anvils on his head only made him zig-zagged.

Aside: when my brothers and I learned the 1/2 g t squared equation, we used to count the seconds and calculate how far the coyote fell.

This likely means that Wile E Coyote has the cat righting reflex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_righting_reflex) despite not being a cat.

Anvils can't deal more than 40 damage. Typically a coyote wouldn't have that much health, but who knows about this one.

Maybe chugging some hot sauce would do the trick? :bigass:

Except then the steam wouldn't be coming from his ears.
