Cliff trains Margaret to be a mail
carrier and they fall in love but Margaret loses her job a
decides to move to Canada.
She convinces Cliff to go with her and as he's leaving
Cheers the gang starts to sing Ballad of the Green Beret.
Cliff says to Margaret "Margaret ,
you're a fine woman but I can't leave my country. My place is
here, in America. I can't leave my home, can't you stay with
me?"
Margaret replies "I'm a mail
carrier Cliff, I have to deliver the mail.
Cliff: "I understand."
Margaret: "But Cliff, it'll be so
terrible, I'll be so cold and all alone. Who'll keep me warm?"
This long introduction leads to
this short bit of trivia:
You'll do
fine Margaret, women have that extra layer of fat.
The truth:
Actually women do not have an extra layer of fat to keep them
warmer.
Just below the skin is a layer of fat called the subcutaneous
fat and it women it is thicker than in men, but as a result the
surface skin temperature is lower in women and thus they
actually feel colder than men.
On the plus side, if you're a woman, you can survive where male
counterparts might perish because of that slightly thicker fat
layer if you ever encounter life threatening cold.
