An Old Joke (and Lots of Irony)

There’s a great old joke about a Cajun who dies and goes to Hell.  When he gets there Satan tries everything in his power to make the Cajun uncomfortable.  Since our little Cajun is used to heat, humidity and big mosquitoes, Satan turns down the thermostat instead—only to find that our dear Cajun is whoopin’ and hollerin’ and having a grand time in the snows of Hell!  When Satan asks why he is so happy, the Cajun exclaims:  “Hell has froze over, da Saints musta won da Super Bowl!” 

Yep.  The Saints did just win the Super Bowl and while I can’t comment on the validity of any icy precipitation in Hell, I can tell you that we got 6+ inches last week in Louisiana!  It snowed for about 12 hours before anything stuck, but when it did stick, we got 4 inches on the ground.

The joke might not be funny any more, but the irony sure is!

By Saturday morning for our birthday party, it was mostly melted, leaving a cold, soggy yard!

  1. Haha, I remember when 4" would have seemed like a lot of snow…like last year… 😉

    Good joke though, and it looks like, based on your other posts, you found some fun stuff to do with the snow days!
