And that wasn’t the "feels like" temperature—that was even higher. It was so hot that, well, even the competition for the best "it’s so hot" jokes was heating up. My favorite, courtesy of David Letterman: It was so hot today that Dick Cheney waterboarded himself. What does any of this have to do with b-schools?
