Sun-Up in Hell

The trouble with hell is that when you get there you have to stay so long. Bob Ingersoll used to tell about a preacher who explained to his congregation how long a man would stay in hell, once he got there. He said: "Suppose you were standing down by the seashore. As far as you can look in every direction everything is sand. Sand, just sand, and still more sand. Well, now, suppose a little bird flies down and picks up a single tiny grain of sand and fies away with it. Now, a million years later, another little bird flies down and picks up a grain of sand, and carries it away. And in another million years another little bird flies down and picks up a grain of sand and flies away with it. Well, brothers and sisters, by the time the little birds carrying away one grain of sand every million years have carried away all the sand on the seashores in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, well dearly beloved, by that time it wouldn't be sun-up in hell vet."
