Subject: great NE joke
A guy from Nebraska 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 aghast as the Nebraskan 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 Nebraskan, with a big smile,
looks at the devil and replies, "This is great! It reminds me of August in
Nebraska. Hot, humid, a good place to work. It reminds me of home. This is
fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Nebraskans
remarks. 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 Nebraskan 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 Nebraskan
replies, "This is great, just like April in Nebraska. It reminds me of
working out in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled but more determined to make the
Nebraskan suffer. He makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly Hell is
blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this will surely make the
Nebraskan unhappy, the devil checks in on him. He is again aghast at what
he sees. The Nebraskan 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 Nebraskan throws a snowball at the devil and yells,
"Hell's frozen over!! That means the Huskers won a football game!"
