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.."
