Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 18, 2013

The expression is “cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass bridge.”

Just shorten it to “monkey’s brass.”

Who are you? Sheldon Cooper?

What I want to know is how Mallet knew when he drew this that it would be down to about 14 degrees this morning in Michigan! What timing!

Take a look at Stone Soup today, glad to see I’m not the only to think that wikipedia is not THAT reliable

colder than a well diggers a$$

We always said "Colder than a Witch’s t*t "

Don’t let the naysayers get you down, friend. If they aren’t interested, they have a scroll button. I found your dissertation informative and well written. Thanks for saving me a trip to the library.

Colder than a ditch digger’s nitty gritty. Also, well digger’s, but ditch digger’s is more alliterative.

“Colder than a well diggers lunch bucket,” was the phrase my Dad used.

Neat is right. Never too old to learn. Thanks.

comicsssfan: That depends. Dante has the worst part of hell a frozen lake with the punished iced in.

@littleannoyingdogThat’s the I heard all the time in my family. If it was REALLY cold, Dad would add “in Siberia” to it.

Actually you yanks wouldn’t know much about cold would you? Ok ,perhaps a few Alaskans.

So, are you TRYING to be offensive, or does it just happen without you even making an effort?

George Bush Sr. once referred to his brand of conservatism as “compassionate conservatism”. If you have to specify, isn’t that an open admission that conservatism is not inherently compassionate?

Colder than a witch’s titty and colder than a Christian’s heart.
