Senior Heliman
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - USA
| A guy from Pittsburgh dies and is sent to Hell. He was a horrible man all his life. The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with a sledgehammer. To make it worse he cranks up the tempurature 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 Pittsburgher is happily swinging his hammer and whistling. The devil says to him, "I don't understand this. I've turned up the heat and humidity, your crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"
The Pittsburgher, with a big smile, looks at the devil and says, "This is great! It reminds me of August in Pittsburgh...hot, humid, a good place to work. It reminds me of home!"
So, the devil decides to drop the tempurature, send down a driving rain and winds. Soon, Hell is a wet, muddy mess. Walking in mud up to his knees in the wind, the Pittsburgher is happily pushing his wheelbarrow full of crushed rocks.
Again, the devil is perplexed and asks how can he be so happy in such conditions.
The Pittsburgher replies, "This is great! Just like April in Pittsburgh. It reminds me of working in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now determined to make the Pittsburgher suffer. He makes the tempurature plummet. Suddenly Hell is blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this will make the Pittsburgher unhappy, the devil checks in on him.
He is again aghast at what he sees. The Pittsburgher is singing, dancing, and twirling his hammer as he cavorts in glee.
"How can you be so happy? Don't you know its 40 below zero!?" screams the devil. Jumping up and down the Pittsburgher throws a snowball at the devil and yells, "Hell's frozen over!! This means the Steelers won the SuperBowl!!" |
