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 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 well 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 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 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 smiled and said. "Yesterday we were recruiting you,
today you're staff..."
