It turns out that Heaven isn't above Hell, but rather, Heaven and Hellshare the same plane and are separated only by a long wooden fence.
One day, the Devil decides to throw this huge bash. Lots of bands perform with some of the biggest names, and the Damned start having a heck of a party. Toward the end of festivities, a big fireball fight breaks out and, sure enough, one lands on the fence and burns it down.
God complains to the Devil and insists that the Devil rebuild the fence. The Devil says, "Sure, no problem. I've got all the union leaders over here as well as most of the building contractors."
So, the fence is rebuilt but it's three feet to one side so that Hell has taken over three feet of Heaven. God is upset. "If you don't move that fence back," says God, "I'm gonna sue you."
"Yeah, right," says the Devil. "Where are you gonna get a lawyer?" |
