- 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 where to send
- you.
- After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost
- every
- home, 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 whether you
- want to go to Heaven or Hell."
-
- Bill replied, "Well, what's the difference between the two?"
-
- St. Peter: "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help
- your decision."
-
- Bill: "Fine, but where should I go first?"
-
- St. Peter: "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 clear waters and lots of naked 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 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 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 dark caves, being burned and tortured by
- demons.
-
- "How's everything going?" he asked Bill.
-
- Bill responded, with 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 naked women playing in the water?"
-
- "That was a demo," replied St. Peter.
