Dave and Blarney April Fool

Dave: Hi, Blarney. I haven't seen you since you left for that Man Made Global Warming conference. How did that go?

Blarney: It was cancelled due to a blizzard. We decided to hold the next one in July.

Dave: That's pretty smart. You should have some record high temperatures somewhere that you can point to as evidence.

Blarney: We had a record high just a few days ago in Montgomery, Alabama.

Dave: Really? How hot was it?

Blarney: 88.

Dave: That doesn't seem too hot for Alabama.

Blarney: Oh, but it was a record for that day in March.

Dave: What was the previous record?

Blarney: 87.

Dave: And when was the previous record set?

Blarney: 1895.

Dave: So, let me see if I understand. The previous high was 87, set Mar 28, 1895. In 112 years, man-made global warming resulted in a new high of 88?

Blarney: That's right.

Dave: But all the years in between it was colder?

Blarney: Yes. That's what Man Made Global Warming is all about.

Dave: OK. I have a question for you. What made it so hot back in 1895?

Blarney: The transportation industry, just like today.

Dave: You'll have to explain that.

Blarney: Hello, railroads, STEAM locomotives!

Dave: <sigh>
