An Old joke making the rounds but this time in a Bangladesh Context. I have seen Nigerian versions of this joke previously!
A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different
hell for each country. He decides he'll pick the least painful to spend
his eternity. He goes to German Hell and asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then
they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil
comes in and whips you for the rest of the day".
The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on. He
checks out the USA Hell as well as the Russian Hell and many more. He
discovers that they are all similar to the German hell. Then he comes to
the Bangladesh Hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting
to get in.
Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told: first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then
they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. The Bangladeshi devil
comes in and whips you for the rest of the day. "But that is exactly the
same as all the other hells. Why are there so many people waiting to get
in?" he asks.
"Because Bangladesh Power Corporation is struggling and is powerless,
there is never any electricity, so the electric chair does not work. The
nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable to
sleep on. And, on top of that, the Bangladeshi devil used to be a civil servant, so he
comes in, signs his time sheet and goes out to do his private business
for the rest of the day."
