Cold Weather Leads to Strange Tale

The older gentleman that works here at my place of employment as our 'Jack-of-All-Trades' totters by my desk today, stopping to share a tale of one sub-zero day he experienced(completely unsolicited):

Old G: I was using the outhouse at this cabin up north once and thermometer said it was Forty Two Below Zero. Good thing the seat was carpetted or I woulda froze my stuff off.

Me: Ah. That's fortunate.

OG: Yep.
