Illinois farmer Joe dies, and since his life was not-so-good, he heads "downstairs".
After he's there for a few days, Satan comes by to visit, and asks Joe "Is it hot enough here for you?"
Joe says "Hot? This ain't nothin! Did you ever cut hay in Illinois in July?"
Satan can't let that go, so he turns up the thermostat and waits 3 days.
Satan comes to see Joe again, and asks "So, hot enough for you now?"
Joe says, "Hot? This ain't nothin. Did you ever bail hay in Illinois in August?"
Well Satan's really getting steamed, so he turns the thermostat all the way up, and waits a week.
Next visit Satan asks, "So, how's it now?"
Joe says "This ain't nothin. Did you ever stack hay in Illinois in August?"
Well, Satan's stumped, until he decides to flip the thermostat all the way to the other extreme, and waits two weeks.
Satan stops to see Joe, who's stamping his feet, clapping his hands and arms together, and just trying to keep his circulation going.
Satan asks "So, wise guy! How's the weather now!?"
Joe says "Wow! What happened? Did the Cubs win the pennant?"
