Hell to Hell local call
我兒子公司裡流傳的一個笑話：
有一位律師、一個會計師和 X公司(我兒子工作的那家公司)的Project Manager同時過勞猝死，三個人一起下到陰間。
因為是猝死，律師覺得很多事情沒有安排好，於是請閻王准他打通電話回律師樓，好向同事們交代一下，不然他會死不暝目。
閻羅王批准了他，於是律師撥了電話回陽間，三言兩語趕快講完，掛了電話，一共打了兩分鐘，閻王向他要電話費兩百萬元，雖然心痛，律師也只好付了。
會計師也向閻王要求准他打電話回去交代清楚，閻王也讓他打了，他一共講了五分鐘，要價五百萬元，會計師也咬牙付了。
輪到X公司的Project Manager，他也請准撥電話回公司，因為Project千頭萬緒，他反覆仔細向同事說明清楚，這個該怎麼做、那個該怎麼辦、...，講了許久，總算理出一個頭緒。等他掛了電話，一看時間，不得了，一共足足談了兩個半小時，嚇出他一身冷汗，這下慘了，可能幾輩子都還不清了！
他硬著頭皮問閻王一共多少錢？閻王說只要One Quarter(兩毛五分錢)。
律師和會計師不禁大聲提出嚴重抗議，為什麼他們只打了幾分鐘就要付那麼多錢，而X公司的Project Manager講了兩個半小時，竟然只收那麼小小的一個兩毛五分硬幣？
閻王回答說：「你們打的是陰間到人間的長途電話，電話費就是那麼貴。而從陰間打到X公司是Hell to Hell的Local Call，所以只要一個Quarter就好。」
(大家知道X公司是多麼的水深火熱了吧！)
[附錄] From Hell to Hell it is a local call
Queen Elizabeth, former US president Bill Clinton and the Lebanese president died and all went to hell.

She wrote him a check and went back to sit back on her chair....

這故事教我想起, 如果有一天死亡真的來的很突然,
如果真的可以跟閻王借電話打,
我要打給誰? 怎麼一想, 有好幾通電話想打,
但都是感謝和道歉......^^
如果我們都能以隨時沒有明天的心情來面對無常，想到了就立刻打電話去感謝和道歉，不必到時候花高額長途電話費了。
想起國外曾有人將這做為一個生意，讓人們事先留好話，在人走了之後，幫他們發 e-mail 給親友去say goodbye。(小心，人嚇人會嚇死人的！) 2009-09-22 02:33:23
Heck！Bloody jolly good！
送上歌幾句：
Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paid my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey mama, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land, whoo!
我兒子已經從hell脫身出來，改到一間非營利組織上班，沒那麼痛苦了。 2020-03-29 13:25:26
