A new arrival in Hell was brought before the
devil. The devil told his demon to put the man to work on a rock pile
with
a 20-pound sledge
hammer in 95 degree heat with 95% humidity. At
the end of the day, the devil went to see how the man was doing, only
to
find him smiling and
singing as he pounded rocks. The man explained
that the heat and hard labor were very similar to those on his beloved
farm
back in Massachusetts.
The devil told his demon to turn up the heat to
120 degrees, with 100% humidity. At the end of the next day, the devil
again checked on the
new man, and found him still happy to be
sweating and straining. The man explained that it felt like the old
days,
when he had to clean out
his silo in the middle of August on his beloved
farm back in Massachusetts.
At that, the devil told his demon to lower the
temperature for this man to -20 degrees with a 40 mph wind. At the end
of
the next day, the
devil was confident that he would find the man
miserable. But, the man was instead singing louder than ever, twirling
the
sledge hammer like a
baton. When the devil asked him why he was so
happy, the man answered, "Cold day in hell, the Patriots must have won
the
Super Bowl!"
