Frozen Balls
Did you know the term 'Freeze your balls off' comes from a naval expression 'cold enougth to freeze the balls off a brass monkey' a brass monkey being a brass (funny that) hoop on the deck of a ship that in which was stacked cannon balls. When it was cold the brass ring contracted and the balls fell off!
