A Little Bit of
Pittsburgh Humor...
|
A Pittsburgh Story!
|
|
Two guys from Pittsburgh,
PA die and wake up in Hell. The next day the devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats warming themselves around
the fire. The devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?"
The two guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Pittsburgh, the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, you know."
The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat. The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still dressed in parkas, hats and mittens. The devil asks them again, "Its awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel that?"
Again the two guys reply, "Well, like we told you yesterday, we're from Pittsburgh, the land of
snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, you know."
This gets the devil a little steamed up and he decides to fix the two guys. He cranks the heat up as high as it will
go. The people are wailing and screaming every where. He stops by the room with the two guys from Pittsburgh drinking Iron City beer. The devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in abject misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourself."
The two Pittsburghers reply, "Well, ya know, we don't get too much warm weather up there in Pittsburgh, we've just got to have a cook out when the weather's this nice."
The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives. The devil decides to turn all the heat off in hell. The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan and gnash their teeth. The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Pennsylvanians. He gets there and finds
them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling
and screaming like madmen.
The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?"
The Pittsburghers look at the devil in surprise, "Well, don't you know, if hell froze over, that must mean
the Steelers won the Super Bowl."

Meaningful
Marriages |
