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