A Fable for Cubs Fans

 
A man died and went to H-E-double toothpicks (trying to keep this safe for the family, folks).

"Welcome to (you know where).  Hope you enjoy the heat!   Mwahaha!"

The man replied   "Heat?  Big deal. I'm from Chicago, this is no worse than living in a two-flat with no air conditioning."

Hmmph, the devil thought, I'll show him!  So, he cranked up the heat.

"What about now?  Hot enough for you?"

The man just shook his head.  I SAID I'm from Chicago!  I've lived through driving the Dan Ryan during a July rush hour."

No matter what the devil did, no matter how high he turned the temperature, the man didn't seem at all bothered by it.  Finally, he had an inspirational idea.  He made it cold.  Bitter cold.  Sub-Arctic cold!  Snow and icicles were everywhere.

Feeling a little smug, he went to confront the man.  He couldn't believe his eyes.  The man was ecstatic, jumping up and down, yelling and cheering.  But he couldn't hear what he was saying.

As he got closer, the devil could finally make it out:  "YAHOO!!! The Cubs won the World Series!"
