Famous quotes containing the word fahrenheit:
“Did you know, Putnam, that more murders are committed at 92 Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easygoing. Over 92, it’s too hot to move. But just 92, people get irritable.”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)
