ok, so this from mark twain......In India, "cold weather" is merely a conventional phrase and has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy..........any truth to twain's wit?.......of course, this was not the quote i was looking for......but that is the nice thing about looking for something....one tends to find that which one didn't know one needed until it was discovered......
