I have discovered that as I age in years, I wonder about different subjects? Have you discovered that same phenomenon?

For example, after living 75 years, all of a sudden…I wonder why the phrase…Hell in a Hand Basket was created ? My queries are always fun, whether I believe them or not. I can remember from my childhood that people would say, “He/She is going to Hell in a Hand Basket.”

Now, I ask myself? How does a person fit into a Hand Basket? Why would they crawl into a Hand Basket? Why would they choose HELL as their destination?

I conversed with The  GOOGLE  God and  He/She/It  said that the phrase was originally: Going to Heaven in a Hand Basket. This implied that the person lived such a good Christian life that they would be delivered  to Heaven with tender loving care.

At this point, I should have quit reading, I did not.

Then, after some war, someone wrote on a cave wall or found a typewriter and changed the phrase from Heaven in a Hand Basket to Hell in a Hand Basket.

So here we are. I have Hell quotes from “Hell and Back” for you.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. -Shakespeare-

Go to Heaven for the climate and Hell for the company. -Mark Twain-

If you’re going through Hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill-

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. -William Congreve-

I don’t like to commit myself about Heaven and Hell. You see, I have friends in both places. -Mark Twain-

What if you are in Hell and you are mad at someone? Where do you tell them to go? -Anonymous-

You may all go to Hell and I will go to Texas. -Davy Crockett-

After all those HELLISH quotes, what can I possibly say that would end on a positive note?

Oh, I know…With all the Devilment going on in the world today, Maybe Hell will soon be full and Satan will be forced to put up this sign:

Hell is forever… and now full.
No Vacancies! 

(Everyone be nice now, we don’t want Old Satan to have a reason to increase the size of Hell.)

At a job interview, tell them you are willing to give 110%. Unless the job is a statistician.

The Vermont Novelty Toaster Corporation introduced the toasted selfie. All you have to do is send the company a selfie and they’ll print it for you on a selfie toast-producing gadget in just ten days.

Back in the 1920’s, there were beach police who actually went around measuring women’s swimsuit lengths to insure that no one was wearing a swimsuit with a questionable length. If a woman was found violating the code, they would be forced to cover up or be sent home. In some cases, they were arrested. 

Oklahoma man Paul Phillips loves fishing so much that he dug his own pond and then built a house over it. There’s a trap door in his living room that he can fish from whenever he wants.
