"It's a Dry Heat"....

I am so tired of people referring to our oppressive, disgusting, life sucking heat as "just a dry heat". Really?? Would that be similar to putting your head in a dry, heat oven? Now that sounds lovely. How about getting into your car that has been sitting out in the "dry heat"? Is that suppose to feel good? Is this supposed dry heat, incapable of making the steering wheel too hot to handle? I don't think so! Does it make exercising, tolerable? No! Does it make the asphalt cooler to the shoe"less" foot? No! How 'bout the car door handle, does the dry heat make that less excruciating to the touch? No! I know, it must really help with opening your mailbox, right? NOT! So enough about our heat being "dry". Heat is heat, now excuse me while I go fry an egg on the sidewalk!
