Then the fight started

Once upon a time there was a lanky and a yarkie. The lanky was always getting
into trouble. The yarkie was very good. He was always kind to
animals, helped elderly neighbours, and led an exemplary life.
As time went on, they stayed in touch but were never very close.
The evil lanky became a heavy drinker and a womaniser. The good
Yarkie was a devoted husband and father and supported many charities.

Finally, the evil lankie died. Then, after a few years passed, the good
yarkie passed away. The good yarkie went to heaven and was rewarded
with a happy afterlife.

One day the good yarkie went to God and asked, "Where is the lanky? He
died before me, but I haven't seen him here in heaven." God replied, "As
you know, the lanky led an evil life, so he is not spending eternity
here in heaven. He has been sent elsewhere."

"I'm sorry to hear that," the good yarkie replied. "But I do miss him
and wish I could see him again." You can see him if you wish," God said. "I
will give you the power to gaze into hell."

So the power was granted and the good yarkie gazed into hell.

Before long he saw the evil lanky sitting on a bench.

In one arm he held a barrel of beer, and in the other he cradled a
gorgeous young blonde.

The good yarkie turned to God and said, "I can't believe what I'm
seeing. I have found the evil lanky, and he has a barrel of beer in one arm and
a beautiful woman in the other. Surely, hell can't be that good!?"
"Things aren't always as they seem...." said God "... the barrel has a hole
in it. The blonde doesn't."
