The Devil's Lawsuit

There was a construction worker who was working on a building when he fell 15 stories to his bloody death. He arrived at the pearly gates and St. Peter said ''Oh, I am sorry, my son. But you have been sentenced to hell. The worker agreed -- not like he could do anything else -- and he was on his way.

When he arrived, the devil looked at him and said, “Ah! A new slave. We shall burn you and throw you in the fiery pits.” Then the worker replied, “That wall could use a bit of patching. I could fix it first and you could throw me in the pit afterward.” So he fixed the wall. Satan, intrigued, asked, “What else can you build?” So the construction worker went about his job and made many improvements; in fact, by the time he was done, hell was a paradise. It had air conditioning, pools, balconies, you name it.

Within a few days, God phoned Satan and said, “I think there has been a mix-up. That worker was originally supposed to come to heaven.” Satan replied, “No way -- he's built all sorts of useful stuff for us. We're keeping him.” God then said, “Oh, yeah? Well, I'll see you in court. We're going to sue you for this man's soul and damages. Satan just laughed: “And where are you going to find a lawyer?”

Heh heh heh

Your post regarding Terri Schiavo contains a bit of inaccurate information. You stated that Michael Schiavo, Terri's spouse, did NOT wish to terminate the life of Terri and that he applied the efforts to the courts in 1998 after 8 years of therapy. That is totally inaccurate. Michael Schiavo initially tried to bring Terri to her death in 1993 when he wanted her antibiotics withheld for no reason other than the hopeful outcome of her demise by a massive infection. The family took him to court. The judge ruled he must allow antibiotics. Yes, the battle has been ongoing...however, it is not fair; nor just; to paint a different picture than what exists. Terri Schiavo collapsed on Feb 25, 1990. Only weeks after her collapse her spouse, Michael, euthanized her HEALTHY cats. He melted her wedding rings and made jewelery for himself. He took her to California for experimental brain implants....all PRIOR to be awarded a malpractice trust fund....Yes, he appeared to be the devoted spouse....except, if you look at court transcripts...you will find he was already having mattress aerobics with one of Terri's nurses at the SAME TIME he was "trying" to get implants for her. Yes...he was the "devoted spouse" Until the money came in. Once the money came in.....THAT IS WHEN he decided she no longer needed therapy and brought it to a halt. That is when he tried to withhold antibiotic therapy. THAT, my friend, was in 1993. The same year the check cleared the bank. The idea of yanking her feeding tube and starving her to death did not surface until Michael brought in George Felos, the infamous right-to-die attorney who can communicate with comatose patients telepathically while they scream out to him "please kill me", YES.........you can color it any way you wish.........anybody who really wants to know what is going on in the Terri Schiavo case needs to read the court documents. THey are located on the family website: www.terrisfight.org Oh, did I forget to mention how the courts are so adamanet to see to Terri's death? OR that George Felos was on the Board of Directors at the SunCoast Hospice the same hospice that has allowed Terri to have a bed even though she is no different as terminal as you or I? Imagine that? Oh...but he quickly resigned shortly after Terri's placement. What a shame, a real hospice patient is losing the opportunity to have a hospice bed. This whole case reeks of conspiracy and ulterior motives.........even a sixth grader can see that...why can't you?
