Capitalist and Socialist Hell
A young, ruthless executive died and went to hell. When he got there, he saw one sign that said Capitalist Hell, and another that said Socialist Hell. In front of the Socialist Hell was an incredibly long line, while there was no-one in front of the Capitalist Hell. So the executive asked the guard, “What do they do to you in Socialist Hell?” “They boil you in oil, whip you, and then put you on the rack,” the guard replied. “And what do they do to you in Capitalist Hell?” “The same exact thing,” the guard answered. “Then why is everybody in line for Socialist Hell?” “Because in Socialist Hell, they’re always out of oil, whips, and racks!”
