Probably just a cultural difference, Suey....Olwen was responding to a bit that I'd written, under the topic of freckles. My post was a bit silly/adult naughty, and Olwen was responding in kind. For all that we're a pleasure-loving country, there's a strong thread of puritanical moralism in American culture and history that tells us (who are interested in, uhm, most naughty things) that it will send us straight to hell. A counter to this is jokes about having a better time in hell (with the implication that it'll be more fun and more interesting), and that one's friends will be there. It's not meant seriously, generally.

What? As always I missed something here.
My friends in Chile say my house is a confessional booth. Nine
ladies came the other night and four of them told us how their husbands
ruined their lives by leaving them. This is the second time this as
happened in the four years I live here. It was so horrible my neighbor
and another very good friend could not sleep the rest of the night when
they left at 3 am. for these stories.
Yeah, they were telling us things like their husband did not respect
them. Horrible. Neighbor and I felt so lucky, we had lunch together
today to share our tears for our good friends and then our husbands came
home and we told them what happened. They could not understand why
anyone would want to die with them as such good friends, nor could
we.
