A little humor to =tart the day
HEAVEN AND =ELL
While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was =ragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven =nd is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to =eaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is = problem. We seldom see a high official around these =arts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No =roblem, just let me in," says the Senator..
"Well, I'd =ike to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is =ave you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can =hoose where to spend eternity."
"Really?, I've made up =y mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.
"I'm =orry, but we have our rules."
And with that, St. Peter =scorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the =iddle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse =nd standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is =ery happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake =is hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while =etting rich at the expense of the people.
They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, =aviar and the finest champagne.
Also present is the devil, who =eally is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and =elling jokes.
They are all having such a good time that before =he Senator realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives =im a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator =ises...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where =t. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit =eaven.."
So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented =ouls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They =ave a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone =y and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in =ell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."
The =enator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never =ave said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I =ould be better off in hell."
So St. Peter escorts him to the =levator and he goes down, down, down to hell..
Now the doors of =he elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered =ith waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, =icking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls =rom above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm =round his shoulders.
"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and =lubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had = great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my =riends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil smiles at him and says,
"Yesterday we were campaigning ...
Today, you voted.."
