| HAMMOND, Ind. - In a scene straight out of the movie "A Christmas Story," a 10-year-old Hammond boy got his tongue stuck to a metal light pole. Police say the unidentified 4th grader was able to tell them a friend had dared him ("triple-dog" dared him, that is!) to lick the pole Wednesday night. Temperatures in Hammond were around 10 degrees at the time. They had to call the fire department! By the time an ambulance arrived, the boy was able to yank his tongue off the frozen pole. Police say ambulance personnel explained to the boy's mother how to care for his bleeding tongue. Last year's incident reported here. |
