> A Houstonian dies and goes to hell.

> While down there the Devil notices that the Houstonian is not suffering
> like the rest of the damned souls. He checks the gauges and sees that
> its 90 degrees and about 80% humidity. So he goes over to the Houstonian
> and asks why he's so happy.
> 
> The Houstonian says, "I like it here, good golfing weather. The
> temperature is just like Houston in June."
> 
> The Devil isn't happy with the Houstonian's answer and decides to get
> him, so he goes over and turns up the temperature to 100 degrees and the
> humidity to 90%. After turning everything up he goes looking for the
> Houstonian. He finds him standing around having unbuttoned the top
> button of his long-sleeve shirt, just as happy as can be. The Devil
> quizzes the Houstonian again as to why he's so happy. The Houstonian
> says, "Y'all've made it like Houston in July. Know any good areas down
> here to go joggin?"
> 
> The Devil, now quite upset, decides to really make the Houstonian really

> replies, "I'm all excited. It's like August in Houston. Feels like it's
> fixin to be labor day! Y'all got a barbecue pit around here anywheres?
> Why, it'd be great to stand over that open pit for six hours flaming up

> 
> The Devil says, "That's it! That's how I'll get this guy." He goes over
