Hell
An Australian dies and is sent to hell. He had been a horrible man
throughout life and even the devil wanted to punish him, so he puts him to
work breaking up rocks with a sledgehammer.
To make it worse he cranks up the temperature and the humidity. "Love my
kingdom!" laughs the devil. After a couple of days the devil checks in on
his victim to see if he is suffering adequately. The devil is aghast as he
looks at the Aussie 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 Aussie, smiling big, looks at the devil and replies, "This is great! It
reminds me of January in Australia. Hot, humid, a good place to work. It
reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Aussie's remarks.
Then he decides to drop the temperature, send down 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 Aussie 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 Aussie replies, "This is great! Just like August in near Melbourne. It
reminds me of working out in the fields, getting ready for thespring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled. Angry, and desperate to make hell
really hell, he tries one last ditch effort. He makes the temperature
plummet. Suddenly hell is blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this
will surely make the Australian unhappy, the devil checks in on him. He is
aghast at what he sees. The Aussie is dancing, singing, and twirling his
sledgehammer as he cavorts in glee.
"How can you be so happy? Don't you know it's 40 below zero!?" screams the
devil.
Jumping up and down the Aussie throws a snowball at the devil and yells,
"Hell's frozen over!! This means the Wallabies won the World Cup!!!"
