There
is a head-on collision on highway 10 near Palm Springs
and two young men vacationing from Boston are killed
and end up in Hell.
The next day, the Devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in warm clothes with a heavy coat, ski cap and mittens warming themselves around the fire.
The Devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for you here in
Hell?"
One
of the men answers, "You know the weather has
been quite warm in Southern California and we would
have expected it to be as least as warm here."
This
gets the Devil a little steamed up and he decides
to fix the two guys. He cranks the heat up as high
as it will go.
The
next morning, people are wailing and screaming
everywhere because
of the intense heat.
He rushes to the room with the two guys and
finds them dressed as they
were before still sitting by the fire and seeming
to have a good time.
The
Devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is
in misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourself."
"Well, actually it is more comfortable than the heat wave we were having
back in California," is the response.
Now
the devil is so furious he can hardly
see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. "No
matter how hot I make it, these men seem very comfortable.
They must be comfortable because they
are used to the heat," he decides. "I'll fix them. I'll
turn the heat completely off!"
The next morning, the temperature is below zero,
icicles are hanging
everywhere, and people are shivering unable to get
themselves warm.
The
Devil smiles and rushes to the room with the two
lads. When he
gets there, he finds them still dressed in their
winter clothes but now
they are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling
and screaming like mad.
The
Devil is dumbfounded, "I
don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're
happy. Now it's freezing cold and you're
even more happy.
What is wrong with you two?"
The
Bostonians look at the Devil and answer, "Hell
is frozen over. That means that the Red Sox have won
the World
Series. The Curse is over!"
Spread
the fun to your friends!
