Child Gives In To Temptation, Gets Tongue Stuck To Pole


WYTHEVILLE, Va. -- It looked like a scene out the movie "A Christmas Story."

A 9-year-old boy in Virginia gave in to an age-old temptation while waiting for the school bus on a very cold day. He touched a metal pole with his tongue. His tongue stuck to the post.

The Roanoke Times reported that a local police officer talked to the boy at the scene while his dad got some warm water.

According to the newspaper, the conversation went like this:

"Are you OK?"
"Uh-uh."
"Have you learned anything?"
"Uh-huh."
"Are you going to do this again?"
"Uh-uh."

The boy's dad applied the water, and the boy's tongue was freed from the post, apparently unharmed.
