Choice in Hell
Charlie goes to Hell and is greeted by the Devil, who leads him to a dark, dank hallway having three doors.
"You will have to choose one of these three rooms in which to spend eternity", says Satan, quite matter-of-factly, as he opens the first door. Inside everyone is standing on their heads on hardwood floors. Charlie thinks, "that would be terrible to spend eternity on my head on such a hard floor", so he asks the Devil to open the second door.
Everyone in the second room is standing on their heads on concrete. Charlie mutters to himself, "This is even worse! This floor is even harder than the first."
Finally, Satan takes him to the third door; in that room everyone is up to their knees in dog shit and drinking coffee. Charlie contemplates this final choice: "This is gross, but at least I can drink coffee here."
"I guess I'll take this room", he announces, with some reservation.
With an evil chuckle, the Devil slams the door behind him. Now, up to his knees in dog shit, Charlie...the newcomer, savors his cup of black coffee.
A few minutes pass... then a loud rapping on the door: "Coffee break's over. Back on your heads", commands the Devil.
