On a cold day, when you walk past the tail of a motor vehicle and a get a rush of warm exhaust fumes over your legs. Or in the winter when you're on a bike and you come up behind a bus or lorry.
It was a horrible ride to work, pissing down with hail, sleet and snow, but when I came up behind a bus at the traffic lights, I got a brief rush of exhaustacy.

Son: "Dad, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I've decided to change career and start a landscape gardening business."
Dad, aka Human fire blanket: "There are already too many people doing that."
