- The classic: Take cold shower, sit in front of fan.
- Eat popsicle; rub popsicle on especially sweltering body parts.
- Get friend or spouse to drive on freeway; hang head out passenger's window like dog; pant if you must.
- Go to a bar and drink cold ones until you're too tanked to notice heat, humidity or to comprehend the concept of weather in general.
- Make accordion fan out of cheaper-than-it-would-be-if-you-had-air-conditioning electric bill.
- Listen to Christmas music and imagine winter wonderlands, Jack Frost or anything other than chestnuts roasting on open fire.
- Indulge in a full-body Noxzema rubdown, then sleep naked on tiled bathroom floor.
- Pile on winter clothing until you sense the onset of heat stroke, then remove clothing to feel remarkably cooler.
- Make "mattress" out of 40-50 bags of frozen vegetables (frozen fruit will work too).
- Shave head like Pedro.
