A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of
judgment. As
he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through
the
pearly gates into heaven. Others, though, were led over to Satan who threw
them
into the burning pit. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into
the fire,
Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile.
After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the
best of him.
So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing.
"Excuse me, Prince of Darkness," he said. "I'm waiting in line for judgment,
but I
couldn't help wondering, why are you tossing those people aside instead of
flinging
them into the fires of hell with the others?"
"Ah, those..." Satan said with a groan. "They're all from Seattle, they're too
wet to
burn."
