When I was a kid, we went on a field trip to the downtown area of where we lived. Our teacher was telling us that all of the places we were visiting would turn up the heat for us or something of that nature, but I somehow thought that the city was going to heat the whole downtown. I remember telling my parents this and wondering why they were laughing.
