Taking a tour of Hell

The devil smiled.  He was happily leading a guided tour through the Halls of Hades.  He led the group into an area and pointed out a fire-and-brimstone exhibit.  Next he took them into a room where billions of clocks hung on the walls.  The devil cleared his throat and explained to the group in an important tone of voice that every person on Earth was represented by one of the clocks.  “Each time a person does something nasty, their clock ticks backward by one minute,” he explained.

One of the tour participants raised his hand and said, “I happen to know an IRS agent whose name is Max Tax. Do you have his clock?”

The devil grinned widely at the question and said, “Oh, his is in the back room. We use it as a fan.”
