A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended
into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their 
desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly 
whipped with thorny lashes.

"Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now."

A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of 
writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they
worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.

"Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"

"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets
published."
