From the Funny File - - -
Someone gave this joke to me a while back, and I am not even sure how long ago it was, but man is it funny - if you're a writer...
A writer died and St. Peter offered her the option of going to hell or heaven. To help decide, she asked for a tour of each destination. St. Peter agreed and decided to take her to hell first. As she descended into the fiery pits, the writer saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes by demons. "Oh, my," the writer said, "let me see heaven."
A few moments later, as they ascended into heaven, the writer saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes by demons. "Hey," the writer said, "this is just as bad as hell!"
"Oh, no it's not," St. Peter replied. "Here, your work gets published."
