A husband suspects his wife is having an affair. He needs to go on a
business trip for several days, so he decides to set a trap for her.
He puts a bowl of milk under the bed. From the bed springs, he
suspends a spoon. He has it calibrated so that her weight on the bed
will not drop the spoon into the milk. But, if there's any more
weight than that, the spoon will drop into the milk and he will
detect it upon his return home.
He comes home several days later. The first thing he does is
reach under the bed and retrieve the bowl.
The bowl is full of butter.
A new arrival in Hell was brought before the devil. The devil
told his demon to put the man to work on a rock pile with a 20-pound
sledge hammer in 95 degree heat with 95% humidity. At the end of the
day, the devil went to see how the man was doing, only to find him
smiling and singing as he pounded rocks.
The man explained that the heat and hard labor were very similar
to those on his beloved farm back in Georgia.
The devil told his demon to turn up the heat to 120 degrees, with
100% humidity. At the end of the next day, the devil again checked
on the new man, and found him still happy to be sweating and
straining. The man explained that it felt like the old days, when he
had to clean out his silo in the middle of August on his beloved
farm back in Georgia.
At that, the devil told his demon to lower the temperature for
this man to -20 degrees with a 40 mph wind. At the end of the next
day, the devil was confident that he would find the man miserable.
But, the man was instead singing louder than ever, twirling the
sledge hammer like a baton. When the devil asked him why, he was so
happy, the man answered,
"Cold day in hell, the Falcons must have won the Super Bowl!"
