frozen extremity

1966

i was working as a helper on a sizmic drilling rig in the northwest territories of canada.
we lived in a remote camp deep inthe middle of nowhere, we were flown out for christmas and then back in for three months.
the temperature was normally around 30 or 40 below o, sometimes dropping to 50 below
i was working behind the drill truck when i felt a pain in my pants, i kept working and the pain kept getting worse. i was thinking maybe i got a dose from a gal i had spent the night with in edmonton, dureing christmas
the pain got worse and finally i went down the side of the truck and opened my pants, and there hung my penis, with a hard crust on it, it was forzen.  ouch
i had taken a leak earlier and when i put it back in my pants , i got it in my pants alright but not inside my thermal underwear
when it started to thaw out i thought there was real damage as the pain was so great.
it was just frozen on the outside so it didnt do any real damage, good thing i got to lookin when i did, it wouldnt have taken very long till it was frozen solid and may have lost it.   wasnt funny at the time :)
when i told the driller what had happened he had to shut the rig down cuz he was laughing so hard.
when we got back to camp of course i was the laughin stock at the dinner table .  sure do hate that negative attention. wink :)
