Satan was severely depressed.

Fewer and fewer souls each new year were coming to hell and it was soon becoming quite empty. So Satan hired an analyst to find out what was going wrong. The analyst traveled all over hell, interviewed lesser demons, and surveyed the experiences of tortured souls, taking notes here and there. A week later, he reported back to the devil. "Well Satan, sir, everything is running fine, I think the problem is your infrastructure. Everything is falling apart, especially your main street! No one wants to come to hell with buildings and roads in a state like this! I have a friend in the construction business, Rodger Goode of "Goode Construction, Inc". Give him a call, and before you know it, hell will be full and bustling again!"
So the devil set off to fix the problem straight away, starting with the main street. It was a huge, overgrown dirt path that ran from death's limbo through all the levels of hell. The devil took his analyst's advice and hired Goode Construction Inc to completely surface it with brand new asphalt. They brought in a hundred men and went to work right away.
A month went by and the devil grew impatient. The street was simply too large for it to be finished in a reasonable time, even by 100 men. Satan needed it done NOW. Satan was quite a racist and immediately thought of the great productivity of Asian people. He looked in the phone book and found a company named "Tommy Chinn Construction," which sounded promising, so the devil called the number. A man with an Asian accent answered and the devil explained his predicament. Tommy Chinn replied with confidence, "Oh that be no probrem for us. We send ten men ova right away and it be done in... Mmh.... One day, probabree." The devil laughed and didn't believe such a feat was possible for only ten men, but he decided to give them a chance and he would get his money back if they didn't live up to their promise. Tommy Chinn showed up the next morning with his 9 other men and started work at once. Lo and behold, before the sun set over hell, the road was finished. The devil was absolutely ecstatic and was so impressed that he hired them to fix up the rest of hell too.

Anyways, that, my friends, is the story of why the road to hell is paved by Goode and ten Chinns.
