\ndon’t think people take Hell very seriously anymore. We used too. As a matter
\nof fact it was one of the reasons why people were nicer years ago because they
\ndidn’t want to go to hell. That was a curse word; literally to tell someone to
\ngo to Hell was bad. Why not? You are condemning someone to an eternal existence
\nin a place where your flesh is being burned off your skull while demons are
\nconstantly poking your butt with pitchforks. Face it, it would suck. Now<\/i> hell is apparently a positive<\/b> word. We even compare places to
\nit. “Where were you? We went to Disneyland. How was it? Oh it was cool as Hell.
\nCool<\/i><\/b>
\nas hell? Hey, talk about an oxymoron! Cooler<\/i>
\nthan hell….what isn’t!? You could be standing in the middle of the Sahara
\ndesert in July trapped in an oven and that<\/i>
\nwould be cooler than Hell. That’s kind of Hells expertise. It’s the hottest
\nplace there is. Everywhere<\/b> is cooler
\nthan hell. Hell is also applied to recreation. “He had a hell of a game”. What
\nkind of games you think they have in hell? Probably not running games cause its
\nhard to run with any speed or grace while trudging through lava. Guess you
\ncould swim since there is a lake of fire. They would have to give you a
\nhandicap I imagine though since it’s harder to paddle stroke when your flesh
\nkeeps melting off your hands. Fleshless bones have never been known for
\ncreating good thrust. How about “He pitched a hell of a game”, yeah but whose
\nyour competition? Hitler’s in Hell. He is fantastic as an evil tyrant but his
\nfastball was never clocked over 86 and that was when he was warm. Which is all
\nthe time now I’d imagine. “He had a hell of a good time” is also suspect of
\ncourse. Who has a good time in eternal torture and torment? Maybe the Marquis
\nde Saad I suppose? How about for us comedians? I once performed at a curse free
\ncomedy week with Jeff Allen at the Improv in Tempe Arizona. There was a couple
\nthat came to the window saw that the show was clean and actually had a
\ndiscussion as to whether they should stay. They of course suffer from the
\ndelusion perpetrated by hack “comedians” that have come down the pike in recent
\nyears that believe dirty, offensive, crass, blue, shocking, crude and expletive
\ndriven “comedy” makes up for poor writing and delivery. Every comic on earth
\nknows it is harder to write clean than dirty. Anyway this couple ends up
\nstaying for the show and after seeing my set came out to the lobby to
\ncompliment me. The man put his arm around my shoulder and said, and I quote “We
\ndidn’t think you guys would be funny but you were funnier than hell!” The irony
\nwas lost on him I am sure not to mention the backhanded compliment! Listen all
\nyou newbie comics, if you perform a set that hell was funnier than…you may want
\nto consider accounting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
