When Hell Freezes over .............

An Englishman 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 Pom 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 Pom, smiling big, looks at the devil and replies, "This is great! It reminds me of July in India. Hot, humid, a good place to work. It reminds me of my childhood days. This is fantastic!"

The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Pommy'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 rain blowing into his eyes, the Pom 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 Pommy replies, "This is great! Just like April in Devonshire. It reminds me of working out in the fields with spring 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 Pom unhappy,the devil checks in on him. He is aghast at what he sees. The Pommy 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 Pommy throws a snowball at the devil and yells, "Hell's frozen over!! This means that England won the World Cup!!!"
