Tried to lick two-inch frost crystals off a 55-gallon steel fuel drum. At forty below zero.

None of this "wait for Mom to come outside with a teakettle" shit that you read about. Steel at that temp on sensitive tongue skin feels like it's white hot. Reflexive head yank is only conceivable option. Losing a square inch of tongue skin hurts like hell for a week.

Plenty of shenanigans with primers, ammo, campfires, and cans of pressurized flammables, but no bad outcomes to match the frost/tongue debacle.
