A gentleman from Texas dies and goes to hell. When he gets there he meets the Devil, who promptly turns the heat up and the Texan just laughed. When asked why he was laughing, the Texan replies,"It's hotter in Dallas in May than this."
So the Devil turns up the heat again, which just makes the Texan laugh harder. When the Devil inquires about what's funny, the Texan replies,"You haven't even reached the heat in Austin in July."
So the Devil turns the heat all the way up and the Texan is rolling around on the ground laughing hysterically, during which he says,"You haven't even come close to Houston in August."
So the Devil thinks,"I'll show this guy," and turns the heat all the way down to where ice is forming on everything in hell. All of a sudden he hears the Texan whooping and hollering and raising an awful ruckus. So the Devil asks the Texan,"What's so funny now?" to which the Texan replies,"The Rangers just won the World Series!!!"
