(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A man was sent to Hell for his sins. As he was being taken to his place of eternal torment¹, he passed a room where a lawyer was having an intimate encounter with a beautiful young woman. "What a ripoff," the man muttered. "I have to roast for all eternity², and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman." Jabbing the man with his pitchfork, the escorting demon³ snarled⁴, "Who are you to question that woman's punishment?"
