I had a friend whose father employed that very method, and while technically, it did work, it enraged the mother, who just happened to pull in the driveway as my friend was streaking through the yard dripping wet on a chilly morning. So, yes, it would work. Whether or not you would be alive to contemplate your ingenuity after the parents came home is another matter altogether.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
