Bill Gate's Dead???
Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory,
being
sized up by St. Peter.
"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 America, yet you also
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, what's the difference between the two?"
St. Peter said, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if
it
will help your decision."
Fine, but where should I go first?"
"I'll leave that up to you."
"Okay then," said Bill, "Let's try Hell first."
So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with
clearwaters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in
the
water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining; the
temperature perfect. He was very pleased.
"This is great!" he told St. Peter. "If this is hell, I REALLY want to
see heaven!" "Fine," said St. Peter, and off they went.
Heaven was a place high 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.
"Hmmm. I think I'd prefer Hell," he told St. Peter.
"Fine," retorted St. Peter, "as you desire."
So Bill Gates went to Hell.
Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to
see how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill,
shackled to a
wall, screaming amongst hot flames in a dark cave, being burned and
tortured by demons.
"How's everything going?" he asked Bill.
Bill responded, his voice filled with anguish and disappointment,
"This
is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago! I
can't believe this is happening! What happened to that other place,
with the
beautiful beaches, the scantily-clad women playing in the water?!???
"That was a demo," replied St. Peter.
