Must be global warming.

I saw flakes there in ‘03…
I am curious also as I have it on good authority that there was several instances of snow in Iraq over the course of several nights back in 91’.
The reports I saw online indicated that this was specific to Baghdad, not Iraq. For example, it snows in the US pretty regularly, but not all that often in Miami. 
Parts of '91 and late '03 were pretty volatile. I kind of doubt that the weather officials from the meteorology dept of the government were showing up and working 9 to 5.
Another sign that the surge is working!
Good one!
So, this die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan dies and, because of some indiscretions in the 700 level of Veterans Stadium, he is not sent to Heaven.
Being the tough guy that he is, he accepts his eternal fate with stoic resolve, almost gleefully his embracing damnation. I suppose he figured that he deserved it, after all those Mummers Parades.
After a week or two, the Dark Lord is disturbed by our man’s lack of suffering.
“Turn it up for our Philadelphia friend, would you?” he commands his demons.
No begging or wailing results.
“Up a click or two for our guest.”
Nothing. Still cool as a clam.
Satan has never been rebuffed as such and confronts the Eagles fan personally.
“What is your problem???!!! I have my heaters and humidifiers working at 150% of maximum??!!! You should be dying - were you not already dead.”
“Dude, have you ever been to Wildwood on the 4th of July? From what I’ve seen, yes you have, different story, but the weather was not nearly as mild as this.”
At that blatant disrespect, Lucifer commands that since fire will not sufficiently torture this wretched soul, then he shall feel the sting of ice.
The heat is shut down to our victim’s cell and freezing wind, rain, sleet, and snow is pumped in.
After a day or two, Beelzebub comes to check in on his guest.
Instead of grovelling and pleading for mercy, Joe 6-Pack is dancing or air.
“What is your problem?” Old Nick asks “Do you not fear for your soul?”
“Dude, don’t you get it?” he asks, “Hell has frozen over. The Eagles won the Super Bowl!!!”
