heaven or hell
>One day while walking down the street a highly successful executive
>woman
>was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven
>where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter.
>
>"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though,
>it
>seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once
>had
>an executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with
>you."
>
>"No problem, just let me in," said the woman. "Well, I'd like to, but I
>have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in
>Hell
>and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to
>spend
>an eternity in."
>
>"Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven,"
>said
>the woman.
>
>"Sorry, we have rules..."
>
>And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went
>down
>to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the
>putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country
>club and standing in front of her were all of her friends and they were
>all
>dressed in fine evening wear and cheering for her. They ran up and
>kissed
>her on both cheeks and they talked about old times.
>
>They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country
>club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met
>the
>Devil who was actually a really nice guy and she had a great time
>telling
>jokes and dancing.
>
>She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to
>leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the
>elevator. The elevator went back up to the Pearly Gates and found St.
>Peter. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said.
>
>So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the
>harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24
>hours
>were up and St. Peter came and got her.
>
>"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now
>you
>must choose your eternity," he said.
>
>The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought
>I'd
>say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I
>had a
>better time in Hell."
>
>So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went back to
>Hell.
>When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a
>desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends
>were
>dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.
>The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
>
>"I don't understand," stammered the woman, " yesterday I was here and
>there
>was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced
>and
>had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my
>friends look miserable."
>
>The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you.
>Today you're staff."
