A man dies and goes to hell. Once
there, he finds that there is a
different hell for each country, so
he tries to seek out the least
painful one.
At the door to German Hell,
he is told: "First they put you in an electric
chair for an hour.
Then they lay you on a bed
of nails for another hour. Then
the German devil comes in and
whips you for the rest of the
day.
" He does not like the sound
of that, so he checks out
American Hell, Russian Hell and
many more. They are all similarly
gruesome. However, at Kenyan
Hell a long line of people is
waiting to get in. Amazed, he
asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told: "First they put you in an
electric chair for an hour. Then
they lay you on a bed of nails for
another hour.
Then the Kenyan devil comes in
and whips you for the rest of the day.
" "But that's the same as the others,
" says the man. "Why are so many people
waiting to get in?"
"Because of the power cuts,
the electric chair does not work.
The nails were paid for but never supplied,
so the bed is comfortable. And the
Kenyan devil used to be a civil
servant, so he comes in, signs his
time sheet and goes back home
for private business."
