An attorney passed on and found himself in heaven, but
not at all happy with his accommodations. He complained
to St. Peter, who told him that his only recourse was
to appeal his assignment.
The attorney immediately advised
that he intended to appeal, but was then told that he
would be waiting at least three years before his appeal
could be heard.
The attorney protested that a three year wait was unconscionable,
but his words fell on deaf ears. The lawyer was then approached
by the devil, who told him that he would be able to arrange
an appeal to be heard in a few days, if the attorney was
willing to change venue to Hell.
When the attorney asked why appeals could be heard so much
sooner in Hell, he was told, "We have all of the judges."
