auburn-red btw
[[I’ll double-check females between 18 and 35, without regard to hair color]]
Auburn brown but way over 35. Your loss!

Jill! So that’s where you were over Halloween!
I’m still not hearin’ from anybody willing to take on welldiggers’ asses, huskies’ nuts or brass monkeys’ balls. If you’re going to volunteer for witches’ tits, you’ve got to offer to do some of the others as well. Fair is fair.
Colibri:
ok ok, if you’re gonna whine about it put me down for monkey balls but NO well digger’s asses!
hmmmmm…on second thought…scratch the monkey balls (idea)( haha!) and put me down for the ‘well diggers’ group.
Colibri sternly insists:
I’ll see if I can find an Aztec priest to do the whores’ hearts.
And jab1, you have to use the same methodology on all the test subjects.
pagandream, you got 'em.
Jill, you want the huskies? The options are dwindling fast.

What are we studying again? I am so lost. Do let me know if there’s any kind of potentially profitable wager though.
To all in this scientific brew-ha-ha <–witchy thang S
This IS Y2K ya know. I am sure there are many well-diggers of the feminine persuasion. Is ones project gender specified or just stuck with whatever you get?
I should add that I called the head vet for the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska to help research this SD column about why dogs’ paws don’t freeze: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/990312.html
so I think I’ve done my bit already. There’s even something in there about sled dog teats, I believe.
I don’t think I specified the gender of welldiggers (admittedly I referred to “his ass” in one post, but that was merely for brevity). Male or female welldiggers are equally acceptable, depending on your preference. Male or female witches, too (though I suppose the latter would be warlocks, and in most cases have less substantial tits). Likewise male or female whores. (Though Akatsukami goes a bit far on testing method. I would try a temperature-sensor inserted by catheter first.)
If you’re doing husky’s nuts or brass monkey’s balls, I think the gender is pretty much specified. (Though there are varying explanations about the origin of the latter expression.)
Jill, the expression is “colder than a husky’s nuts in a dogsled race.” It’s husky’s nuts; witch’s tits; not the other way round. Got that straight?
The article talks about frost-bit sled-dog nipples, vulvas, and prepuces, but there’s nothing on testicles. I think you need to call that vet again.
And I ain’t betting you nothin’, unh-unh, never again. I’m still in hock on the last one.
I’m guessing most well-diggers have nice, firm asses, btw. I’m just sayin’.
Highway construction workers here in New Mexico… yeah, I’d guess their asses are often cold as half their cracks are often exposed to the elements.
Does this help explain why the Presidential vote in New Mexico was so close?
Another question about witch body parts: Was the Wicked Witch of the West green EVERYWHERE?
Jill, there’s no need to guess. This is science! You now have the perfect excuse to go up to the welldigger with the nicest ass and just grab it. Just say, “Relax! I’m just trying to take your temperature!”
Provided that I’m guaranteed that Jill will grab my ass[sup]1,2[/sup], I volunteer to dig a well so as to qualify as a bona fide welldigger. Mind you, not a very deep well…
So Jill, my place or yours? To dig the well, I mean…
[sup]1[/sup] And considering all the bicycling I do, my ass should be quite firm. Whether it’s nice or not, I leave to your judgement.
[sup]2[/sup] Will this also include inserting a temperature probe? Ooh, I can’t wait…
Ooh. I hope you are careful what seat you’re using. Traditional bicycle seats have been linked to lesions and impotence in men.
erm. ain’t touchin that. 
Don’t worry. I’ve been riding on a Terry Liberator for several years now. Most comfortable saddle I’ve ever owned.
Colibri complains:
You’ve heard of “first mover’s advantage”? You’ve just seen it in action. 
Umm, Pagandream, I hate to break it to you, and go on one of my rants, but a 'witch", as far as its PRIMARY and original meaning is a (Oxford): “sorceress, esp a woman supposed to have dealing with the devil or evil spirits.” There are still those types of witches today- they do worship satan, etc.
True, the old english word ‘wicce" did not nessesarily mean devil-worshiper- it had a multitude of meanings including wise-man/woman, midwife, wizard, healer, pagan priest/ess and, yes, sorceress. However, around the time of Shakespeare, they evolved a new word out of the old root- to mean exactly a woman who had a pact with the devil, etc. (of course, not everyone who ws accused of being a "witch’ was one, but not everyone accused of being a heretic was one either). That word was 'witch"- so witch, for the 1st 300 years in use had nothing to do with paganism or 'wicca", both of which are primarily contructs of the 20th century, altho there are some parts that do go back thousands of years.
Now, neopagans/wiccans want to call themselves “witches”- or at least a few of them do. Well, if they want to, that is alright- but don’t get all huffy if someone, when using the word “witch” uses it to mean what the word primarily and originally was supposed to. You could call yourself a “Rabbi”, which means “teacher”, I suppose- but don’t be surprized if folks think you are Jewish. So, yes, 'witches" are “in league with the Devil”- as much as “Rabbis” are Jewish ministers/teachers.
The index doesn’t seem to have a reference to a brass monkey’s balls, so I thought I would throw this in. I used to work for a Navy organization and one of the newsletters provided a maritime explanation for the subject orbs. Supposedly …
In the days of sail, the rack for cannonballs was a monkey (no, I don’t know why) and made of brass rails. In extreme cold weather, the brass contracted more than the iron cannon balls and the balls would sometimes jump out.
- sounded reasonable to me.
