4. I did it once. It works.
But if you don't panic, and just keep your tongue on the metal, eventually the metal warms up and you can free yourself.

5. Smart kid.
Once, a long time ago my cousins and I made a younger cousin stick his tongue on a metal ice cube tray.

It was funny at the time.

8. I introduced the my 7 year old to the movie last night
She LOVED it. Admittedly some of the jokes were over her head (Blue Ball). But she loved it.

9. The best thing is that I went to the same high school as the kid
My brother and best friend were in the same year. The kid who portrayed the flagpole tongue tutcher turned out to be a complete narcissist in real life and eventually wound up doing some porn.

My advice to everybody, don't get your tongue stuck to a flagpole, it leads to pron.
