A guy from Cleveland Ohio dies and goes to Hell. He
had been a horrible man all his life.
The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with
a sledgehammer. To make it even worse, he cranks
up the temperature and humidity.
After a couple of days, the devil checks in on his
victim to see if he is suffering adequately. The devil
is aghast as the Ohioan is happily swinging his
hammer and whistling a happy tune.
The devil walks up to him and says "I don't
understand this! I've turned the heat way up,
it's humid and you're crushing rocks. Why are
you so happy?"
The Ohioan, with a big smile, looks at the devil
and replies, "This is great! It reminds me of
August in Cleveland. Hot, humid and a good place
to work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to
ponder the Ohioan's remarks.
He then decides to drop the temperature, send down
a driving rain and torrential winds. Soon, Hell is a wet,
muddy mess.
Walking in mud up to his knees with dust blowing
in his eyes, the Ohioan is happily slogging through
the mud pushing a wheelbarrow full of crushed
rocks.
Again, the devil asks how he can be so happy in
such awful conditions. The Ohioan, with a big smile,
looks at the devil and replies, "This is great!
It's just like April in Cleveland. It reminds me
of working out in the yard with spring planting.
It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
Now the devil is completely baffled. He is more
determined than ever to make the Ohioan suffer.
He then makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly,
Hell is blanketed in two feet of snow and ice.
Confident that this will finally make the Ohioan
unhappy, he checks in on him again. He is again
aghast at what he sees! The Ohioan is dancing,
singing, and twirling his sledgehammer as he
cavorts in utter glee.
"How can you be so happy? Don't you know it's 40
below zero?" screams the devil. Jumping up and
down the Ohioan throws a snowball at the devil and
yells "Hell is frozen over!! This means the Browns
won the Super Bowl!!
The Browns won the Super Bowl!!"
