A Woman's Punishment

时间：2007-03-08 05:53:15

（单词翻译:单击）

A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment1 by the devil.

As he passed sulphurous pits and shrieking2 sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer snuggling up to a beautiful woman.

'That's unfair!' he cried. 'I have to roast for all eternity3, and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman.'

'Shut up,' barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork.

'Who are you to question that woman's punishment?'
