Choices
One day while walking down the street, a highly successful HR Director
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 Director 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 all 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(kind of 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 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," he said. 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 and said,"Yesterday we were recruiting
you, today you're staff..."
