And now, a joke. A Utah farmer dies and goes to heaven, where he is turned away for his sinful life and sent to hell. The Devil greets the farmer in hell “Welcome to hell! As punishment, you shall now work this barren patch of land for all of eternity in the blazing heat!” The devil then leaves the farmer to his toil.
When the devil returns the next day, the Utah farmer is whistling, happy and smiling. The devil looks at hell’s thermometer, which is at 100F and shouts “What’s wrong with you?! This place is blazing hot!” to which the farmer says “Why, this is just a warm spring day in Utah!”. So the devil marches to the thermostat and turns it up to 110F.
The next day the devil returns, and the farmer is still happily working his barren patch of land. Incensed, the devil shouts “What’s wrong with you?! It’s unbearably hot!” to which the farmer replies “Why, this is just a fine summer day in Utah!” Angrier than ever, the devil turns the thermostat up to 130F!
The next day, even the imps and demons that torture the forsaken are too hot and sweaty to work, and the damned souls moan in agony from the intense heat. But much to the devil’s chagrin, the Utah farmer is still happy, the devil screams in rage “How can you be so happy in this heat?!” and the farmer says “Why, this is just a hot summer day in Utah, worked through this all my life!”. The devil then gets an idea, he turns the thermostat of hell way, way down, below 0F.
The next day, the imps and demons of hell chatter their teeth and even the flames of hell have frozen solid from the intense cold. The devil walks over to the farmer and is more angry than ever, the farmer is dancing, singing and cheering! The devil bellows “WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?!” to which the Utah farmer replies “THE JAZZ WON THE NBA FINALS! THE UTAH JAZZ FINALLY WON THE TITLE!”
