Yes, Russia measures temperature in the armpit. Is it really that much colder than in the mouth? Edit: A 37 temperature would automatically give you an excuse

Yes, Russia measures temperature in the armpit. Is it really that much colder than in the mouth? Edit: A 37 temperature would automatically give you an excuse from school when I was a kid and, obviously, children always were finding ways to cheat. If just putting the thermometer in your mouth worked then either I was in the dark or nobody has discovered this.
