Ice Cold JOW #1313


I live in southeast Texas where it is hot four or five months of the year and cold maybe a week.  It is January, so it is cold.  I watch the local news doing special after special report on how water can become hard and slippery when it gets below freezing, thus, anyone driving a car when it’s freezing will have a wreck.  So Houston is essentially shutting down.  So all the talk about ICE in my neighborhood has to do with the stuff we usually put in our drinks and is now on some of our roads.  Thus, my theme this week is ice..

 

I used my discount card to clean ice off my windshield.

I could only get about 20% off though

All the store had was frozen

A vendor selling ice from a street cart has a sign that says “Ise Stand.”

“Ice Stand, Corrected”

Okay, this is a very old kid joke.  You have to say the answer out loud and remember what it was like to be nine years old.

If water with ice is iced water and milk with ice is iced milk, and tea with ice is iced tea, what's ink with ice in it?

And finally a really cool joke

Once upon a time an elderly couple ventured to an old town with not many inhabitants. The town being located fairly high up north as well as the harsh winter season led to it not being the most prosperous place at the current time. Everyone there was cold, hungry and they mainly kept to their own.
They went to the baker and asked to purchase some pastries which he gladly let them. They spoke for a bit and after a while he recommended they go see the local pub. After a couple drinks a man entered the bar. He was the town's beekeeper, and understandably the weather was a pure nightmare for him. He was out of a job due to all his bees having died over the cold winter. They invited him to their table and after a few more drinks they became friends.
Later that night the couple decided that they were going to host a competition as a way to try and bring the townsfolk together, and they figured the only competition able to take place somewhere this cold was an Ice Sculpture beauty contest. They pitched the idea to the mayor, invested some of their money into a first prize and informed the townsfolk. Funny enough the 3 people participating ended up being the Baker, Beekeeper and the barman.
The competition started and they all started going at their blocks of ice. The baker, being a sportsman made a perfect copy of Aragorn during the battle of Minas Tirith. It surely was one of the coolest sculptures the couple had ever seen. The beekeeper, created a masterpiece that looked like a frozen lake in the woods. It used the glimmer of the sun to sparkle a flat area that completely took everyone by surprise. The barman, being already a professional ice sculptor created an incredibly complex shape that looked like a tornado being twisted into the ground.
The couple thought for a second and then declared the frozen lake to be the winner. Both the others protested vividly, but the couple reminded them that it was a beauty contest after all. Whilst the Baker had the coolest project and the barman had the most complex there was no doubt,

That beauty was in the ice of the bee holder.
