Jan You Wary

The Russians, of course, think its cool
To jump in an icy-cold pool
But I'm not a fool
And made a Mule Rule:
Dive only where warmth greets my tool!

I've always thought jumping in an icy river was stupid. Your Mule Rule is a wise one, Rico. I haven't been keeping up with POTD, so didn't know you won. Congratulations :)
