All That Glitters Is Not Gold! by femib26(m): 11:01am On Sep 24, 2007
While crossing the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by
a truck and dies. His
soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is
a problem. We have never had a high official around these parts, you see, so
we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Member of
Parliament.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St.Peter escorts him to
the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In
the distance is a clubhouse and
standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had
worked with him.

Everyone is shaking his hand, and reminiscing about the good times they had
while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who
has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time
that before he realizes it, it is time to go.


Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises to
heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving
from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time
and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful,
but I think I would be better off in hell with all of my friends."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,
picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from
above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning,
Today you voted".

Pls, Dont get caught in this!!!!
