Bill Gates In the Afterlife
Bill Gates dies and is met at the gates of heaven by God.
"Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused
on this one. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell!
After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer
in almost every home in the world, and yet you created that
ghastly Windows 95. I'm going to do something I've never done
before. I'm going to let you decide where you want to go!"
Mr. Gates replied, "Well, thanks, God. What's the difference
between the two?"
God said, "You can take a peek at both places briefly if
it will help you decide. Shall we look at Hell first?"
"Sure!" said Bill. "Let's go!"
Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear
waters. There were thousands of beautiful women running around,
playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun
was shining and the temperature was as perfect!
Bill said, "This is great! If this is Hell, I can't wait
to see Heaven!"
To which God replied, "Let's go!" and off they went.
Bill saw puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels
drifting about playing harps and singing. It was nice, but surely
not as enticing as Hell. Mr. Gates thought for only a brief
moment and rendered his decision.
"God, I do believe I would like to go to Hell."
"As you desire," said God.
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire
to see how things were going. He found Bill shackled to a wall,
screaming among the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being
burned and tortured by demons.
"How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.
Bill responded with anguish and despair. "This is awful!
This is not what I expected at all! What happened to the beach
and the beautiful women playing in the water?"
"Oh THAT!" said God. "That was the demo!"
