It was late August when Gabriel came to the Lord and said, “I have to talk to you, some old smokejumpers and Forest Service hot shots just showed up and boy, are they causing some problems. They’ve rigged up some parachutes and they’re making Michael fly them over the pearly gates for practice jumps into the clouds. They’re calling in air support from the seraphim and cherubim! Lord, you have to do something.”
God said, “Well, if we got a batch of ‘em, you know Lucifer got a few too. Let’s call and see how it’s going.”
The phone rang 30 or 40 times before Satan answered. “DON’T SEND ME ANY MORE…” he shouted, before the Lord interrupted him, “I just called to see what kind of problems you’re having down there.”
The Devil said, “Just a minute, I need to check something.”
About 5 minutes later, Satan returned to the phone and said, “I’m back. Now what was the question?”
The Lord said, “What’s going on down there? Are you having some kind of problem?”
Lucifer sighed and said, “It’s terrible. We ought to make a deal. I’ll take all the lawyers, if you’ll take all the firefighters and Forest Service personnel. You won’t believe what they’re doing. They’ve set up a Type 1 incident command post. They put up a mobile kitchen and showers, and dug trenches and dozed out helipads all through the brimstone. They build a fire-line around the Lake of Fire! AND that’s not even the worst of it!”
The Lord chuckled and asked, “How much worse can it get?”
The Devil replied, “I just got the invoice. They’re billing me double overtime!”
May the Spirit of the Elves guide you.
