Heaven and The Other Place down under

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 on November 2, 2010*
