Heaven or Hell?
One day while out walking, a highly successful Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and killed. Her soul arrived in heaven and was met by St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
"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 had a Human Resources Manager make it this far before and we're not really sure what to do with you."
"No problem," said the woman, "just let me in".
St. Peter replied, "Well, I'd like to, but I have "higher" orders. What we're going to do is let you spend 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 staying 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 into a cool breeze and onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was the country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all well-dressed and cheering for her. They ran up, kissed her on both cheeks, and talked about the good conditions she could have there as part of the team. 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 at the Pearly Gates where 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, playing the harp, and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it, her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came to 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 that, but I think I had a better time in Hell and really think my talents could be better utilized there."
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 very hot, desolate wasteland, covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends dressed in rags. They were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks and were micro-managed at every step.
The Devil came up to her with a smile on his face 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 promises of teamwork and support and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all I see is a wasteland of garbage and misdirected confusion and all my friends look
miserable."
The Devil looked at her and smiled and said, "Yesterday we were recruiting you. Today, you're an employee."
"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 had a Human Resources Manager make it this far before and we're not really sure what to do with you."
"No problem," said the woman, "just let me in".
