Boy gets tongue stuck on pole
And the “A Christmas Story” reference was just too good to pass up.
Acting on a friend’s dare — no word if it was the dreaded Triple Dog—a 10-year-old Hammond boy stuck his tongue on a cold metal pole Wednesday night in a scene straight from the 1983 growing-up-in-Hammond classic, “A Christmas Story.”
The boy got himself unstuck, police said, and walked, tongue bleeding, with his friend into Shortstops Bar & Grill, where workers gave him a clean towel to help stanch the bleeding, said Sherry Huber, a bartender there. A cook comforted the child until paramedics and the boy’s parents arrived.
