[So here's an answer Sam probably wasn't expecting:] It sucks.

[Josh says this as easily and matter-of-factly as he's ever said anything sucks. The hot dogs from the cart right on Pennsylvania Avenue? They suck. The weather in the middle of February? It sucks. Leeches? They suck. Literally.

And Josh feels kind of bad, because he can imagine what Sam must be picturing in his mind, but — ]


It's beautiful, but it's boring. I was bored. I was so bored that I decided to go work in Hell instead. That's where I've been. Hell. Which also sucks, but not as much, in my opinion, as Heaven.

[And then he adds, almost as an afterthought:] And they're both run by corporations, capitalism is still very much a thing, and you would not believe the bureaucratic incompetence. Makes our government look like the world's most well-oiled machine. Sam, it's ridiculous.

[And by that he means literally everything about the afterlife. It's all ridiculous, as far as Josh is concerned, in the truest sense of the word.]
