A guy from Pittsburgh dies and is sent to Hell. He had been a horrible man his entire life. The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with a sledge hammer. To make it even worse he cranks up the temperature and the humidity. After a couple of days, the devil is aghast as the Pittsburgher 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, you're crushing rocks....why are you so happy?"
The Pittsburgher, with a big smile, looks at the devil and replies, "This is great! It reminds me of August in Pittsburgh. Hot, humid, a good place to work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Pittsburgher's remarks. Then he decides to drop the temerature, send down a driving rain and torrential wind. Soon, Hell is a wet, muddy mess. Walking in mud up to his kness with dust blowing in his eyes, the Pittsburgher is happily slogging through the mud pushing a wheelbarrow full of crushed rocks.
Again, the devil asks how he can be happy in such conditions. The Pittsburgher replies, "This is great! Just like April in Pittsburgh. It reminds me of working out in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled but more determined to make the Pittsburgher suffer. He makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly Hell is blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this will surely make Pittsburgher unhappy, the devil checks in on him. He is again aghast at what he sees. The Pittsburgher is dancing, singing and twirling his sledge 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 Super Bowl!!!
