+A copywriter dies and meets Saint Peter in purgatory. Saint Peter offers him a choice between heaven or hell. Thinking on his feet, the copy asks for a chance to see both before he makes a decision. Saint Peter agrees, leads him to a doorway and says;
–"Here's hell. There's a special room just for copywriters."
Peeking inside, the copy sees row upon row of faceless hacks, all scribbling frantically as a giant red devil lays into them with a heavy whip screaming;
–"The presentation's in five minutes! The presentation's in five minutes!”
–"Uhh … better show me heaven," says the copywriter.
Saint Peter then leads him to another door and says;
–"Here's heaven, There's also a special room just for copywriters."
Peering into the second room, the copy again sees row upon row of faceless hacks, all scribbling frantically as a giant red devil lays into them with a heavy whip screaming;
–"The presentation's in five minutes! The presentation's in five minutes!"
The bewildered copywriter turns to Saint Peter and says;
–"But I thought you said that this was heaven?"
Saint Peter answers;
–"Well, up here, the work gets produced."
