Fred - these days one must be Politically,, Religiously and morally tactful!     Not sure if some on the group don't believe in HELL!      But I believe Pittsburgh will have operating street cars and Hell will freeze over before the Pirates win another World Series!  LOL

: The Devil and the Guy From Pittsburgh 

 

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 
sledgehammer. 

To  make it worse, he cranks up the temperature and the 
  humidity. 
  After a couple of days, the devil checks in on his victim 
  to see if he is suffering adequately. The devil is baffled as the   
guy from Pittsburgh 
  is happily swinging his hammer and whistling a happy tune. 


The devil walks up to him and says, "I 
  don't understand his. I've turned 
  the heat way up, it's humid, and you’re crushing rocks; 
  why are you so happy?" 


The guy from Pittsburgh , 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  remarks of the guy from Pittsburgh . Then he decides to   
drop the 
temperature, send down a driving rain and torrential wind. 
Soon, Hell is a wet,  muddy mess. Walking in mud up to his knees with   
dust 
blowing  into his eyes, the guy from Pittsburgh 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 guy from Pittsburgh 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 guy from Pittsburgh suffer. He makes the   
temperature 
  plummet. 

  Suddenly 
Hell is  blanketed in snow and ice. 

  Confident that this will surely make the guy from Pittsburgh 
  unhappy, 
  the devil checks in on him. 


  He is again shocked at what he sees. The guy from 
  Pittsburgh is dancing,  singing, and twirling his sledgehammer 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 guy from Pittsburgh throws a 
  snowball  at the devil and yells, 


"Hell's frozen over! This means the Pirates won the World 
Series."
