One day Bill Gates died and met God, and God
said, "Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure whether
to send you to Heaven or to Hell. After all, you helped society enormously
by putting a computer in many homes in the world, and yet you created that
ghastly Windows.
I'm going to do something I've never done
before. I'm going to let you decide where you want to go."
Bill Gates said, "What's the difference
between the two?"
God said, "It might help you decide if you
took a peek at both places. Shall we look at Hell first?"
Bill was amazed. He saw a clean, white sandy
beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful men and women
running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The
sun was shining and the temperature was perfect.
"This is great!" said Bill. "If this Hell, I
can't wait to see Heaven."
God said, "Let's go!" and off they went to
Heaven. 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. He thought for only a brief moment and rendered his
decision
"God, I do believe I would prefer to go to
Hell."
As you wish," 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 amidst the hot flames in a dark cave. He was
being tortured by demons with pitchforks.
"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 screen
saver."
