Hell, MI (2)

There's an unincorporated town in Michigan called Hell. It's in the news today because a couple from the town won the lottery. The headline read "Couple from Hell wins Halloween lottery".
I'd like to live near a town called Hell, simply for the jokes. Here are a few:
- Why don't you go to Hell ... to buy a picture frame for Mom's birthday?
- My ex-girlfriend was born in Hell.
- I've been through Hell and high water today ... because there was some flooding after the snow melted.
- I'd rather be in Hell than in this meeting.
- Hell froze over ... like it does every December.
- McDonald's is at exit 26 off the Highway to Hell. #travel

Fair

I heard it suggested recently that the word "fair" actually means "getting what you deserve" instead of "everybody gets the same thing". The latter lines up better with the idea of "equality". The topic was brought up by a high school teacher who's sick of students claiming something's not fair (e.g. one student getting punished for something while another student isn't). She says to them, "Based on your performance up to this point, this is the outcome you deserve. That's only fair." #psychology
