One day while walking down the street a highly successful HR Director
was tragically hit by a bus and she died.
Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by
St.Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St.Peter. "Before you get
settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough,
we've never once had a Human Resources Director make it this far and
we'renot really
sure what to do with you."
No problem, just let me in," said the woman.
"Well, I'd like to," replied St. Peter, "but I have higher orders. What
we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and
then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."
"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven",
said the woman.
"Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an
elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.
The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green
of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and
standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she
had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering
for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about
old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the
country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She
met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she had
a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time
that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand
and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and she
found St. Peter waiting for her.
"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next
24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She
hada great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St Peter
came
and got her.
"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you
must choose your eternity," he said. The woman paused for a second and then
replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really
great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell." So St.Peter
escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to
Hell.
When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a
isolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends
weredressed in
rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.
The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced
and had a great time. Now all there is is a wasteland of garbage and all my
friends look miserable."
The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you,
today you're staff..."
