   Of Heaven, Hell and Lawyers...

   It is a common misconception that Heaven is a place somewhere up above
while Hell is a place somewhere down below.  This simply is not true.
Heaven and Hell actually reside on the same plane separated by a fence.

   On day while God was making a walking inspection of Heaven, He came upon
a section of the fence in a serious state of disrepair.......

He called Satan over, "Satan, this fence is in a terrible state, please
fix it as soon as you possibly can."

Satan flamed back, "Buzz off, it's your fence, you fix it!"

God politely explains, "Now see here Satan, the fence posts are on your side
of the boundary, therefore the fence is yours and it is your responsibility
to keep it in good repair!"

Satan, "I told you to get lost, Old Man, now leave me alone, go away, quit
bugging me!!"

Once again God politely says, "I am afraid that I must be adamant, I insist
that you fix the fence or I will be forced to call my lawyer."

Satan, "Oh yeah, where are you going to get a lawyer?"
