The backstory:  JT and I were in a cab with my parents (aka, the Homey Gs, a nickname courtesy of my nephew S), headed from the Seattle port to the Sea-Tac airport.  We struck up a conversation with our taxi driver, Ahmed, and, as these conversations often do, we turned to the topic of weather.
Ahmed the Cabbie:  Where are you headed?
Homey G'pa:  To central California.  It will be hot when we get home.
Ahmed:  How hot?
Homey G'pa:  Well, probably in the 100s, maybe up to 105 by the end of the week.
Ahmed:  105?  Jesus Christ!
And at that, we all burst into laughter.  Really, what else is there to say about 105 degrees?
