Ärende: Re: Could Homeland Security order a Vista shutdown?
===========================================================
From: "John Beamish" <JLBeamish@rogers.com>

Not sure waht you're saying here:

Hell will freeze over when NHS uses an OS that MS can shut down? Hell will
freeze over when MS shuts down machines?

Today's tagline is a Canadian joke:

One day in hell while Satan is making his rounds he comes across a Farmer
 from Saskatchewan, who does not appear at all discomforted by the heat
while performing his labors in hell. Satan asks the farmer why he doesn't seem
bothered by the heat. The farmer says, "Why this is just a like a typical
summer day in Saskatchewan."

Hearing this, Satan proceeds to crank up the fires of hell to get to the
farmer. A little while later, Satan checks in on the farmer, who is still
happily working away at his labors, with only a little trickle of sweat coming
off his brow. Satan asks again why the farmer is not bothered by the heat. The
farmer replies, "Oh this is nothing, this is just a like a hot summer's day in
Saskatchewan."

The devil gets pretty upset about this so he turns the heat way down He goes
back to the farmer who is still happily performing his labors. Satan asks
again. The farmer replies, "Oh this is just like a typical winter day in
Saskatchewan."

Satan's pretty perturbed by now so he turns the heat right off. Hell freezes
over.  Icicles form everywhere. The fires of hell are covered with a thick
layer of ice. All the minor demons and devils are wearing the over-coats and
long johns. Satan heads back to the farmer and sees him jumping up and down all
excited. Satan asks why he is so happy?

"THE LEAFS HAVE WON THE CUP! THE LEAFS HAVE WON THE CUP!"
