Heven And ######

[Wolfie]

A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness. His soul arrives in

Heaven where he is met by St. Peter.

"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter." We seldom see a high official

around these parts, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the guy.

"I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have

you spend one day in ###### 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 rules are rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,

down, down to ######. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of

a green golf course. In the distance is a club 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 attire. They run to greet him, hug

him and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at

the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then

dine on lobster and caviar.

Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a

good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time

that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big

hug 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.", he says.

So 24 hours pass 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 ###### and another in Heaven. Now choose

your eternity."

He reflects for a minute, then the senator answers, "Well, I would never

have said it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be

better off in ######."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,! down

to ######.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he is 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.

The Devil comes over to him and lays his arm on his neck.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and

there was a golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and

danced and had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland full of

garbage and my friends look miserable."

The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning.

Today you voted for us!"

VOTE WISELY THIS COMING ELECTION!!!
