So, some of you may have heard about the Superbowl and who won (I won't spoil the surprise). Also, you may have heard about the crazy snow/winter weather patterns in the eastern US over the last few days. Apparently, throughout Louisiana today, it is sleeting and snowing.
All of this reminds me of one of my favorite old Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes:
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux die and go (geaux?) to hell. When the get down there, Satan decides to really make it a tough trip on them, so he turns the heat WAY up.
"How do ya like that, boys? Hot enough for ya?" he asks.
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux reply, "Mais this is nothin'! This is like sitting in the shade of my momma's magnolia tree."
This frustrates Satan to no end. So, the next day, he cranks the heat up again, and goes to check on the boys. They tell him, "Ooh Satan, this is like being on the Bayou. We're used to this! It's just like bein' back home."
Satan, fully angry now, puts the heat as high as it will go. Everywhere in hell, demons are covered with sweat, complaining about the change. Even Satan himself has stripped to his undershirt. Boudreaux and Thibodeaux come up to Satan and tell him, "Where's the crawfish boil? This is like an August day in south Louisiana. We love this!!"
Satan is about to give up on Boudreaux's and Thibodeaux's punishment when he gets an idea. That night, he turns the heat off completely, and jacks up the a/c. Everywhere in hell, demons are freezing near to death. Icicles hang from the ceiling, and snow is falling over the frozen rivers.
Satan visits Boudreaux and Thibodeaux to ask how they like it now. Before they can answer, a demon runs up to them to tell them news from above:
"Everyone, listen up! THE SAINTS JUST WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It's a cold day in hell, my friends.
