A Bostonian 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 Bostonian 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 Bostonian, with a big smile, looks at the devil and replies,
"This is great! It reminds me of August in Boston. Hot, humid, a good place
to work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Bostonians remarks.
Then he decides to drop the temperature, sending 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 Bostonian 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 Bostonian
replies, "This is great! Just like April in Boston. It reminds me of working
out in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled and determined to make the Bostonian
suffer. He makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly, Hell is blanketed in
snow and ice. Confident that this will surely make the Bostonian unhappy,
the devil checks in on the Bostonian.
He is again aghast at what he sees. The Bostonian 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 Bostonian throws a snowball at the devil and yells,
"Are you kidding? Hell's frozen over!! This means the Red Sox won the World
Series!!"

"The Wire" is the best show in the history of television. Watch it today.
