A new arrival in Hell wasbrought before the devil.
The devil told his demon to put the man to work on a rockpile with a 20-pound sledge hammer in 95 degree heat with 95% humidity. At the endof the day, the devil went to see how the man was doing, only to find him smilingand singing as he pounded rocks. The man explained that the heat and hard labor werevery similar to those on his beloved farm back in Pennsylvania.
The devil told hisdemon to turn up the heat to 120 degrees, with 100% humidity.
At the end of the nextday, the devil again checked on the new man, and found him still happy to be sweating andstraining. The man explained that it felt like the old days, when he had to clean out hissilo in the middle of August on his beloved farm back in Pennsylvania.
At that, the deviltold his demon to lower the temperature to -20 degrees with a 40 mph wind.
At the end ofthe next day, the devil was confident that he would find the man miserable. But, insteadthe man was singing louder than ever, twirling the sledge hammer like a baton.
Whenthe devil asked him why he was so happy, the man answered, "Cold day in hell - theEagles must have won the Super Bowl!"
