I had this iteration of the old joke around forever. Been going through the files on my laptop and could not resist not to post it.
Heaven is where:
The police are British
The chefs are Italian
The mechanics are German
The lovers are French
and it is all organized by the Swiss
Hell is where:
The police are German
The chefs are British
The mechanics are French
The lovers are Swiss
and it is all organized by the Italians!!
One question, if these are heaven and hell, where does that leave the Russians – the purgatory?
Hmm…

If there is Internet in hell and heaven, many people will not even noticed that they have died, thus none of this really matters 🙂 🙂
Once again, you are making me think. At 1:36 AM on Saturday morning it is a sin. Hmm, does that make it a hellish experience??? On the other hand, if this is a dream in a giant machine, a la The Matrix, I better go get some sleep.
Of course then you get into a circuitous logic that is DEFINITELY giving me a headache – do we dream the dream or does the dream dreams us. I DID promise to myself not to get into philosophy on this blog. Oh well…
You’d better go get some sleep. BTW, I think that experience is never hellish 🙂
It all depends whether ‘cogito ergo sum’ or “sum ergo cogito”
Or, as buddhists would say “sum ergo sum”
It all depends on how much you can smile. I mean smiling like an idiot, which is the best way to smile. Then, “cogito ergo sum”, “sum ergo cogito” and “sum ergo sum” will not matter. 🙂
btw, meanwhile the world is moving towards faster way of communication (email > chat > etc), we are degrading, i.e. moving backwards.
Hmm. I agree, let’s start using pigeons to send the handwritten notes across the globe.
Come to think of it, the Rothchilds made hell of a lot of money this way during the Napoleonic wars.
And yes, idiotic smiles rule! Especially at 2 am.
Especially! 2am is good time to smile, 3 am is much better, the smile gets wider and more idiotic 🙂 🙂
And yes, the pigeon idea had occurred to me too.
Need to do something with the lack of caffeine in my stream, have been affecting my thoughts.
Meditation works and so does standing on one’s head while trying to figure out which way is Mecca.
It all depends from your point of view. We stand on our heads too, if you think from the point of view of the universe. And sleeping is the closest you get every day to standing on your head. This is why it helps 🙂
Yep
