It's So Hot.... A little Summertime-in-Phoenix Gift Basket Humor

It's Summertime. It's Phoenix. It's a desert. You bet it's HOT!

How hot is it?

It’s so hot…I used the hot glue gun today for 20 minutes before I realized it wasn’t plugged in.

It’s so hot…The gift baskets are unwrapping themselves.

It’s so hot…The Goldwater's Chili Mix is having an identity crisis.

It's so hot...Instead of a fancy bow, the gift baskets are wearing shorts and flip flops.

Ok, so none of those are really true, just a little gift basket humor there for ya. It is 108 -110 degrees outside right now in Phoenix, maybe the heat has gone to my brain a little.

Here's is Mimi's submission:
