Hottest day of the year so far

It was a cooker today at work. Outside it was supposedly 99 degrees. I don't think so!
This is what we had "inside" the shop this afternoon.

Dip the pinky, (you know where) then you put your thumb in your ear with your thumb and pinky outstretched. (like howzit hand sign) If you can smell your pinky its not safe.
