that's hell

I've never found heaven, for example, a particularly interesting place to go. 
In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, 
didn't bother to spring for two joints-heaven and hell. 
They're the same place, 
but heaven is when you get everything you want 
and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends 
and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. 
Hell is the same place-no fire and brimstone-but they just all pass by 
and don't see you. 
There's nothing, no recognition.
 You're waving, "It's me, your father," but you're invisible. 
You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody
 because they don't see you. 
That's hell.
