From a Philadelphia Fan the following
was submitted. No doubt many of us can change the words
around to make it apply to our team favorites. Thanks,
Ray, for sending it in!

A guy from Philadelphia 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 Philadelphian 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, you're crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"
The Philadelphian, with a big smile, looks
at the devil and replies, "This is great! It reminds
me of August in Philadelphia. Hot, humid, a good place
to work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks
away to ponder the Philadelphian'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 dust blowing
into his eyes, the Philadelphian 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 Philadelphian replies, "This
is great! Just like April in Philadelphia. It reminds
me of working out in the yard with spring planting!"
The devil is now completely baffled but
more determined to make the Philadelphian suffer. He
makes the temperature plummet. Suddenly Hell is blanketed
in snow and ice. Confident that this will surely make
the Philadelphian unhappy, the devil checks in on him.
He is again aghast at what he sees. The Philadelphian
is dancing, singing, and twirling his sledgehammer as
he cavorts in glee.
"How can you be so happy? Don't you
know its 40 below zero!?" screams the devil.
Jumping up and down the Philadelphian
throws a snowball at the devil and yells, "Hell's
frozen over!! This means the Eagles won the SuperBowl
!!
