Swaddled in layer upon layer of goosedown and fur, the snowmobilers looked as bulky as brown bears. One driver rigged his wife's electric hair dryer into his helmet and face mask for added warmth.

Among Paul's starring roles: an Arrow Shirt commercial in which he stands stripped to the waist in a Laundromat, takes his wash 'n' wear shirt out of the dryer, nonchalantly puts it on and swaggers out the door through a crowd of oohing, aahing housewives...
