A guy from Buffalo dies and is sent to Hell. He had been a wicked, horrible
man his entire life. The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with a
sledge hammer. 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 Buffalonian 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,
and you're crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"
The Buffalonian looks at the devil with a big smile and replies, "This is
great! It reminds me of August in Buffalo. Hot, humid, a good place to work.
It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!" The devil, extremely perplexed,
walks away to ponder the Buffalonian's 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 rain blowing into his
eyes, the Buffalonian 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 Buffalonian replies, "This is great! Just like April
in Buffalo. It reminds me of working out in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled but more determined to make the
Buffalonian suffer. He makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly Hell is
blanketed in snow and ice. Confident that this will surely make the
Buffalonian unhappy, the devil checks in on him. He is again aghast at what
he sees. The Buffalonian 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 Buffalonian throws a snowball at the devil
and yells, "Hell's frozen over!! - - This means the Bills won the
SuperBowl!!"
