“Is it hot? Use a spoon!”

There is a joke in our place and possibly in our country, about what to respond to questions in a different perspective. This joke is almost always answered by either me or my sister when any one between us gives the question.
It goes like this: If it is hot (especially coming in to the house after staying out under the scorching heat of the sun), we reply, “Use a spoon”.
When we sip hot soup or hot coffee, and we say, “It is hot”, the most amusing response would be, “Use an umbrella”.
“It is hot”, when we touch something hot, and we answer with a “Use your sunglasses”.
Ahh! That is the funny side of a serious person.
PS: I am making this ridiculous discussion tonight for tomorrow because we will be having a10-hour power blackout, again, as always, for the nth time around, over and over again!

my son started the generator during lunchtime. we had the fan to cool us, and the lights so we won't miss our mouths when the spoon with food is to be swallowed.

The title already gave me a hint that it is something I know and use if I joke around .

Sense of humor is very helpful; it relieves some stress.

Wow, I would really hate having a power blackout that only happens here when we have bad storms.

true. it is so hot, and humid too, that is why the sweat comes running in a race, from the forehead down to the chin.

Teacher: Class, can you feel it, Its very hot here in our room
Classmate: Use a spoon then
My teacher got angry and she said get out!
