"A cold plunge is bracing. Have the bath about three-quarters full of cold water. Lock the bathroom door. Slap the water a few times with the open hand and sing "D'ye Ken John Peel" in a loud voice and say, "Phoo! Hah! Phow!" This means that you are actually having a cold bath. Stay a reasonable time in the bathroom and then pull the plug out of the bath and emerge, prancing slightly. I have done this every winter for years and have never been found out yet. But be sure to wet the soap."

Lennie Lower
Leonard "Lennie" Waldemere Lower (24 September 1903 β 19 July 1947) was an Australian humourist who is still considered by many to be the comic genius of Australian journalism. Lower's drinking was "legendary", hence the titles of his two best-known books: "Here's luck!" is a well-known Australian drinking toast, as is "Here's another!"
