An Environmentalist Dies -  Earth Day Joke

An environmentalist dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, 'Ah, you're an environmentalist - you're in the wrong place.' Thinking that heaven could never make an error, the environmentalist reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the environmentalist gets dissatisfied with the environment in hell, and starts implementing eco-friendly improvements. After a while, global warming, air and water pollution are under control. The landscape is covered with grass and plants, the food is organic and the people are happy. The environmentalist has become a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, 'So, how's it going down there in hell?' Satan replies, 'Hey, things are going great. We've clean air and water, the temperature is better and the food tastes better, and there's no telling what this environmentalist is going to fix next.' God replies, 'What? You've got an environmentalist? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there, send him up here.' Satan says, 'No way. I like having an environmentalist on the staff, and I'm keeping him.' God says, 'Send him back up here or I'll sue.' Satan laughs uproariously and answers, 'Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?'
