On the recordOctober 13, 1998
there was this guy who was in hell and he was sentenced to go to hell and he was walking around down there and he was smiling. The devil says to him, what are you smiling about. He said, I am from South Georgia. It is 90 degrees. I do not feel so bad. I kind of feel like I am back home again. The devil got mad. The devil cranked up the thermostat to 100 degrees and checked on the guy after a little while, walked over, the guy was not even sweating. Devil said, now what is the problem, why are you so happy now? He says, well, again, I am from South Georgia and 100 degrees is like July. This does not bother me a bit. The devil got real mad, cranked up the thermostat to 110 degrees. And at this point the guy was smiling again. The devil runs over to him and says, I know, August, right. And guy says, you got it, devil, 110 degrees is not a problem. The devil got real mad and turned the thermostat down to 15 degrees. Everything got blue and frozen. Devil ran over there and he saw the South Georgia boy smiling one more time and he said, what is it now? And he says, devil, I am smiling because apparently the Democrats and the Republicans have finally found something that they agree on up there in Washington.
