[QUOTE="jmgrif, post: 1112096, member: 17460"] Cold enough to freeze the Balls off a Brass Monkey! If you don't know where this saying comes from, I think I know! Back in the days of sailing war ships with cannons etc. the cannon balls were stored on deck on a Brass plate with indents that held the cannon balls in place till required! When sailing in the colder climes the Brass plates would shrink due to the cold and cause the cannon balls to "fall", off the Brass Monkey as it was called! Thus it was cold enough to Freeze the Balls off a Brass Monkey. And that's the truth, I think! [/QUOTE]
