Two Brothers

    Once upon a time there were two brothers
    One brother was very mischievous, always
    getting into trouble. The other brother
    however, was very good. He was always
    kind to animals, helped elderly neighbors,
    and led an exemplary life.

    As time went on, the brothers stayed in
    touch but were never close. The evil
    brother became a heavy drinker and a
    womanizer. The other brother was a
    devoted husband and father and supported
    many charities.

    One day the evil brother died.
    Then, after a few years, the good
    brother passed away. He went to heaven
    and was rewarded with a happy afterlife.
    One day he went to God and asked,
    "Where is my brother? He died before me
    but I have not seen him here in heaven."

    God replied, "As you know, your brother
    led an evil life, so he is not spending
    eternity here in heaven. He has been sent
    elsewhere."

    "I'm sorry to hear that," the good
    brother replied. "But I do miss him and
    wish I could see him again."

    "You can see him if you wish," God said.
    "I will give you the power to gaze into
    hell."

    So the power was granted and the good
    brother gazed into hell. Before long he
    saw his brother sitting on a bench.
    In one arm he held a keg of beer,
    and in the other he cradled a gorgeous
    young blonde.

    The good brother turned to God and said,
    "I can't believe what I'm seeing.
    I have found my brother, and he has a
    keg of beer in one arm and a beautiful
    woman in the other. Surely, hell cannot
    be that bad."

    God explained. "Things are not always as
    they seem. The keg has a hole in it.
    The blonde doesn't."
