Most people believe that heaven is above and hell is below.
They are really side by side and are seperated by a fence

One day God was walking along the fance and noticed that it needed repairing.
He phoned Satan to discuss who should pay.
Satan said "You created everything, you can pay for the repairs."
God said   "Part of the fence is yours, we should share the cost."
Satan told Him where to go.
God said   "In that case you'll be hearing from my lawyer!"
Satan replied "Where are you going to find a lawyer?"

The Jargon File lists this as one source, but then goes on to say:
 
   However, the use of the word `foo' itself has more complicated
   antecedents, including a long history in comic strips and cartoons.
   The old "Smokey Stover" comic strips by Bill Holman often
   included the word `FOO', in particular on license plates of cars;
   allegedly, `FOO' and `BAR' also occurred in Walt Kelly's
   "Pogo" strips.  In the 1938 cartoon "Daffy Doc", a very
   early version of Daffy Duck holds up a sign saying "SILENCE IS
   FOO!"; oddly, this seems to refer to some approving or positive
   affirmative use of foo.  It is even possible that hacker usage
 
   actually springs from `FOO, Lampoons and Parody', the title of
   a comic book first issued in September 1958; the byline read
   `C. Crumb' but this may well have been a sort-of pseudonym for
   noted weird-comix artist Robert Crumb.  The title FOO was featured
   in large letters on the front cover.
 
   An old-time member reports that in the 1959 `Dictionary of the
   TMRC Language', compiled at {TMRC} there was an entry that went
   something like this:
 
     FOO: The first syllable of the sacred chant phrase "FOO MANE PADME
     HUM."  Our first obligation is to keep the foo counters turning.
 
   For more about the legendary foo counters, see {TMRC}.  Almost
   the entire staff of what became the MIT AI LAB was involved with
   TMRC, and probably picked the word up there.
 
   Very probably, hackish `foo' had no single origin and derives
   through all these channels from Yiddish `feh' and/or English
   `fooey'.
