The Day Hell Froze Over

You may think that Hell is a metaphorical place, in the mystical realm, or part of a silly little phrase like “Oh, go to Hell”. I'm here to tell you that Hell does exist, it is for real; it's a place here on Earth in the middle of the great lakes.
Deep in the midst of Michigan somewhere west of Detroit, and east of Grand Rapids lies a dot on the map comprised of 75 people, they live in a town... a town they called HELL. I'm sure you can find it if you really want to go there, but take my advice, you're better off not going, but in this case, maybe you are, who knows?
It was on one wintry day that it had to happen, snow came down in the center of Hell, the snow didn't stop until you stood ankle deep near the entrance to Hell.
Now the kids in Hell are like every other kid, and loved to play in the snow, they built snowmen and snow forts, and raced on their sleds, and even skated on a lake.
But the biggest thing they did, was make a snowball. Now, you've heard the quote: “A snowball's chance in Hell” well on this day they made one, and pitched it, and it hit Jinx the cat, their one-time mayor smack on the head.
Oh, yes, on that day, when Hell froze over, even a snowball had a chance to survive.
