An attorney passed on and somehow found himself in Heaven, but not at all happy with his accommodations.

He complained to St. Peter, who told him his only recourse was to appeal his assignment. The attorney immediately advised that he intended to appeal, but was then told he would be waiting at least three years before his appeal could be heard.

The attorney protested a three year wait was unconscionable, but his words fell on deaf ears. The lawyer was then approached by the devil, who told him he would be able to arrange an appeal to be heard in a few days, if the attorney was willing to change venue to Hell.

When the attorney asked why appeals could be heard so much sooner in Hell, he was told, "We have all of the judges."
