He finds that they’re…
all more or less the same as the German hell.
Then he comes to the Brazilian hell and finds that there is a long queue of people waiting to get in.
Amazed, he asks, “What do they do here?”
He is told: “First, they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Brazilian devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day.”
“But that is exactly the same as all the other hells; so why are so many people waiting to get in here?” wonders the man.
He is told, “Because the maintenance here is so bad that the electric chair does not work. Someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the Brazilian devil is a former government servant, so he just comes, signs the attendance register, and then goes to the canteen.”
