Due to an ever-increasing number of suicide
bombers, Hell is allegedly creating express check-in lanes to
help speed things along.
Fr. Lou McKenna, our CoverUps pipeline to heavenly affairs, divined the information through a "reputable source" who told him of Hell's novel solution to this bureaucratic pickle.
"This isn't Heaven," Beelzebub, Supreme Ruler of Hell, is reported to have said. "We want to start torturing the eternally damned right away. We don't like it when you have to wait."
Beelzebub refers to Heaven's practice of Purgatory, which he dismisses
as simply another guise for not having a Heavenly house in order.
"Purgatory is B.S.," B-bub said. "God can't get
the paperwork through fast enough to get people past the Pearly Gates. And His traffic's just a fraction of mine."
"You have any idea how much red tape is involved in getting people into Hell,"
complained the Prince of Darkness. "We have to process every single transgression against
humanity – and for some that takes time. At least with suicide bombers
we can move things along."
Satan revealed some surprising insights into the workings of
Hell.
"Most suicide bombers are surprised when they get here," he laughed. "The first question they ask is 'where are all the virgins?' 'Virgins?' [we say]. 'Sure, sure, we got your virgins.' The other demons and me always get a big laugh over that one."
What most of the bombers quickly realize is that while there
ARE virgins in hell, they're not who they think they are.
"The BOMBERS are the virgins," said the Devil, slapping his knee. "Ain't that a kick in the head?"
In fact, suicide bombers are the only sex most demons get in Hell.
"They're insatiable, those demons," the Devil said. "They'll rub you raw."
The Devil said he was pleased with the express check system, saying it would allow him to process
suicide bombers in much less time, so he could get on with
the business of burning them forever, which would save on heating bills.
"Have you seen the price of crude oil?" he asked, adding, "Boy are we gonna have fun with the oil execs when they get here... You should see our white collar section. It's filling up almost as fast as the suicide bombers."
Hell has a white-collar section?
"Hell yes!" Satan exclaimed. "At Camp Enron we torture them
in different ways. Make 'em take art appreciation classes, ethics seminars.
That kind of stuff."
Who was the most famous resident in white collar hell?
"I'll give you three guesses. And the first two don't count," laughed the Devil. "Ken Lay sends his regards."
