Heaven or Hell
Heaven or Hell
In 2050 A.D. Bill Gates died in a car accident. He
>>found
>>himself in Purgatory being sized up by God.
>>
>>"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call. I'm not sure
>>whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you
>>enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in
>>the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows 95. I'm going to do
>>something I've never done before. In your case, I'm going to let you decide
>>where you want to go!"
>>
>> Bill replied, "Well, thanks, God. What's the difference
>>between the two?"
>>
>> God said, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly
>>if it will help you make a decision."
>>
>> "Fine, but where should I go first?"
>>
>> God said, "I'm going to leave that up to you."
>>
>> Bill said, "OK, then, let's try Hell first."
>>
>> So Bill went to Hell. He saw a beautiful, clean,
>>sandy beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful women
>>running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about.
>>The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect. Bill was very
>>pleased. "This is great!" he told God.
>>"If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!"
>>
>> "Fine," said God and off they went. Heaven was a high
>>place in the
>>clouds, with angels drifting about playing harps and singing.
>>It was nice but not as
>>enticing as Hell.
>>
>> Bill thought for a quick minute and rendered his
>>decision.
>>"Hmm, I think I prefer Hell," he told God.
>>
>> "Fine," retorted God, "as you desire." So Bill Gates
>>went to Hell.
>>
>> Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late
>>billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When God
>>arrived in Hell,
>>he
>>found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming amongst the
>>hot flames in a
>>dark
>>cave. He was being
>>burned and tortured by demons.
>>
>> "How's everything going, Bill?" God asked.
>>
>> Bill responded, his voice full of anguish and
>>disappointment, "This is awful, this is not what I expected.
>>I can't believe this happened. What happened to that other place with the
>>beaches and the beautiful women playing in the water,
>>and everything else wonderful that I saw?"
>>
>> God smiled and said, "That was the screen saver."
