A farmer from Saskatchewan (Canadian praries) dies and goes to hell. The devil goes right to work and puts him in a firey lake, and leaves. He returns an hour later and sees this farmer just sitting comfortably relaxing, while everyone around him was in agonizing pain.
The devil says, "Don't you find this hot?"
The farmer responds, "Ah, this is nothing. This is like a June day on the Saskatchewan fields."
Well, the devil could't let that go, so he doubled the heat in all of hell. An hour later he checks on this farmer, and he's still relaxing comfortably. So the devil says, "Surely you must find this hot!"
And again the farmer replies, "No, not at all. This is like a July day on the Saskatchewan fields."
The devil is really angry after this, so he cranks up the heat in hell as much as he can! An hour later he checks on the farmer. The farmer is still sitting comfortably, but has a couple of beads of sweat on his face, but isn't being tortured the way the devil expected. So the devil says to him, "I can't believe you don't find this hot!"
The farmers says, "Oh, this is nothing. It's just like an August day on the Saskatchewan fields."
Well, the devil couldn't take it anymore, and said if the heat wasn't going to work, then he'd try something else. He decided to put all of hell in a deep freeze. As soon as he did this, he heard cheers and celebration from everyone in hell, "The Leafs won the stanley cup! The Leafs won the stanley cup!"
