Many years ago at a little university in a little Canadian city
where the winters are long and fucking cold..., A history lecturer from some Midlands university showed up for a year's exchange accompanied by his Spanish wife Josephina.
Josephina's (Hozafina to the locals) sole topic of conversation was how cold it was. The ladies persuaded her that she needed a real coat, made for a real winter.
The next soiree, she showed up in a full length mink coat. She was very pleased.
Her husband insisted that his own coat, a tweed from his London bespoke tailor, could not possibly be surpassed.
The students called him popsicle.
