Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker reacts with mock astonishment that Hell turns out to be real, then adds a punchline: it is located in New Jersey. The joke depends on the deadpan pivot from cosmic revelation to ordinary geography, teasing a real place by treating it as the setting for eternal damnation.
