   Reminds of a joke I heard the other day:

   A US Senator dies and finds himself at the gates of Heaven with Saint Peter. Peter says, “We haven’t had a high government official up here for some time, so we have to check the rules on what to do.”

   “That’s easy”, says the Senator, “just open the gates and let me in.”

   “No”, we have to follow the rules. You should know that, Senator.” says Saint Peter.

   “You’re right”, says the Senator, “so what are the rules?”

   Saint Peter says “You must spend 24 hours in Hell and then 24 hours in Heaven, then come back and make a choice on where you would like to spend eternity”.

   The Senator thinks to himself “That can’t be difficult, choosing between Heaven and Hell.” So the Senator says to Saint Peter, “Okay, send me to Hell.”

   The Senator descends to Hell, the gates of hell open and he sees a lush green golf course under a shining sun and sweet fresh air. Many of his deceased colleagues from government service are playing golf and they rush over to greet him, play a few rounds of golf with plenty of drinks served throughout the rounds by lovely women. That night they dine on Lobster Newburg, steaks. caviar and the finest wines and spirits. Satan is on stage doing stand up comedy and he’s hilarious. Before you know it the Senators 24 hours in Hell are up and he is transported back to Heaven. He spends the time in Heaven cloudhopping while angels play beautiful music. Otherwise, nothing much is happening in Heaven.

   Stillbefore you know it, the Senators 24 hours in Heaven are up, and he finds himself back at the Pearly Gates with Saint Peter.

   “Time’s up”, says Peter. “what is your decision?”

   “Well, I never thought I’d say this but I had a better time in Hell”, says the Senator, “send me there for eternity”.

   So the Senator is sent to Hell, and this time when the gates of Hell open he sees a land of desolation and fire, with ash falling from the sky. His former colleagues are there, dressed in rags and covered in sores, sweeping up the ash.

   The Senator says to Satan, “Wait a minute, this place was nothing like this when I was here before. What’s going on?”

   Satan replies “Yesterday we were campaigning. Today, you voted.”
