Heaven or Hell
One day while walking down the street a highly successful Human Resources
Manager 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 Manager
make it this far and we're
not really sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let
you have a day in Hell and
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 well dressed and cheering for her. They
ran up, kissed her on both cheeks,
and 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 good-bye
as she got on the elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and 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, playing the
harp, and singing. She had a 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." 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 desolate wasteland covered
in garbage and filth. She saw her friends
were dressed 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 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 an employee........"
Which Master will you choose to serve today???
We cannot wait until death
because the decision will not be yours.
