TODAY'S BLOG SHORT AND SWEET

IT'S A MONKEY BUTT DAY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Louisiana is one of the top 10 states to have the highest and most unbearable humidity.
Average humidity is around 80%.
The southern states temperatures hovered around 100 degrees today
 and with over 80% humidity is was
unbearably HOT!
Pair that with a motorcycle on the hot asphalt and it was
Unbearably HOT on steroids today!


It may seem obvious, but humidity paired with heat is considered more troublesome because of the simple fact that it’s hot. When the outside temperature is high, the body wants to sweat; but in humid conditions, the air is already so saturated with water that the body has a difficult time sweating. Hence, it is difficult for the body to cool it's self.

REMEMBER THE MONKEY BUTT POWDER 
AND WHAT IT IS REALLY USED FOR?



Every where the "All 48-State Team" go.....they leave a trail of Monkey Butt Powder.
See the floor at the restaurant?
See Jase standing at the counter?
Yup! That's a puddle of Monkey Butt Powder.

Chaffing is serious business in the south on hot humid days

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You may remember seeing these cute little animals 
in their live condition.....




But our "All 48-State Team" know them best 
for their tendency to commit suicide 
by jumping under cars, semi-trucks and motorcycles!

Soy bean fields
Cotton fields
Corn fields grown for ethanol
