A man stands shirtless in a red, fiery hell, speaking to a horned, fanged red demon. The man asks, despairingly, 'I have to dig in the acid mines every day? And no matter what, when I go to sleep, I wake up here again, to dig again? Forever?' The demon replies emphatically, 'FOREVER!' A caption below reads, 'Hell had surprisingly good job security.' Votey: a hand-drawn close-up of the man's face, now looking up with hopeful surprise, saying, 'And I get to live forever...?' The joke flips the eternal-damnation horror into the man finding a silver lining: eternal life and guaranteed employment.
