Sven and Olie died and went to hell. After awhile, the Devil came by to see how his new guests were doing. To his amazement, he found Sven and Olie were still wearing their winter gear and seemed to be quite comfortable. The Devil asked why they weren't hot.
Olie replied, "We come from Minnesota where it's always cold. This is feeling pretty good to us."
This upset the Devil, so he turned up the thermostat. A while later, the Devil looked in on Sven and Olie. To his surprise, he found they were still wearing their winter gear.
The Devil questioned them on it again. "You have to remember that we are from Minnesota and it's very, very cold there. This is feeling nice to us."
The Devil became even angrier, and turned the thermostat all the way to maximum temperature. The Devil waited some time and then went back to Sven and Olie. This time he found they had only unzipped their coats, but still had all their winter clothes on. The Devil couldn't understand what was going on. The punishment down here was supposed to be the unbearable heat. It wasn't working on these two. He had to ask again what the deal was. Sven replied, "We are Minnesotans and we just got over a freezing winter. This is really great for Olie and me.
A light flickered in the Devil's mind. He went to the thermostat and turned it off. He thought if the heat wasn't a punishment, maybe he'd give them some freezing temperatures. A little while later, the Devil came back to check in on Sven and Olie only to find them cheering and giving each other high fives, happier than ever! The Devil questioned them on their actions and Sven said happily, "Back home they always said, the Vikings will win the Super Bowl when hell freezes over!"

Shopping For Men
A Wal-Mart store that sells husbands has just opened in Dallas, Texas, where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men. Among the instructions at the entrance, is a description of how the store operates.
There are only six floors. It states that the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... As you open the door to any floor you may choose any man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So, Jane decides to go to the Wal-Mart Husband Store to find herself a husband.
On the first three floors the signs on the doors read:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.
Wow, she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the 4th floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,446,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping Wal-Mart's Husband Store. Watch your step when you exit the building and have a nice day!

Blatter insists the gala is off on strictly sporting grounds
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- The World Cup opening gala in Berlin has been cancelled, just five months before the tournament.
FIFA say it is because staging the event could damage the playing surface at the Olympic Stadium.
However, Berliner Zeitung will report on Saturday that the first-ever opening gala has been called off, after four years of planning and preparations, because of rising costs and sluggish ticket sales.
Berliner Zeitung claims the costs kept rising above the 25 million euro ($30.08 million) budget.
But in a statement, FIFA president Sepp Blatter insisted the gala had been canceled on strictly sporting grounds.
The gala was scheduled to be held on June 7, with the first match at the stadium to be played on June 13 when world champions Brazil face Croatia.
"Personally, I still think the idea of holding such a high-profile opening event is a good one," said Blatter.
"FIFA has not taken the decision to cancel the event at such a late stage lightly, but as world football's governing body, we must put sporting considerations first.
"I would like to thank artistic director Andre Heller and everyone involved for their commitment and their understanding of this decision. "
The statement expressed concerns about whether a new pitch to replace the grass trampled in the opening ceremony would be in satisfactory condition to play group matches just six days later.
