29. If I throw a snowball at her?

If you’re stuck in frozen climes this month, you’ve probably run across the delicious opportunity to strike a pretty girl with a perfectly-formed, perfectly-aimed snowball. So what’s the deal with this delightful juvenilia? It was flirting in third grade, but now you have an apartment and maybe a car or something. Isn’t it just mean and immature?

The proof of the snowball is in the throwing, amigo. If you’re hoping that your target has a sense of humor and the inclination to play along and fight back, you’re flirting. If you’re just lobbing freezystuff at unsuspecting women for shits and giggles, we can’t help you. So, in the spirit of the season, let some well-intentioned powdery projectiles fly like silly Cupidian arrows. Just be a good sport when she gets you back, right in the ear.
