Heaven or Hell
A writer dies and due to a bureaucratic snafu in the the
afterworld, she is allowed to choose her own fate: heaven or hell
for all eternity. Being a very shrewd dead person, she asks St.
Peter for a tour of both.
The first stop is hell where she sees rows and rows of writers
sitting chained to desks in a room as hot as a thousand suns. Fire
licks the writers' fingers as they try to work, demons whip their
backs with chains. Your general hell scene.
"Wow, this sucks," quoth the writer, "let's see some heaven."
In a moment, they were whisked to heaven and the writer saw rows
and rows of writers chained to desks in a room as hot as a thousand
suns. Fire licks the writers' fingers as they try to work, demons
whip their backs with chains. It looks and smells even worse than
hell.
"What gives, Pete?" the writer asked, "this is worse than hell!"
"Yes," St. Peter replied, "but here your work gets published."
