A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness. 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 seldom see 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 guy. '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 senator. '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 club and standing in front of it are all his
> friends and other politicians who had worked with him, everyone is
> very happy and in evening attire. They run to greet him, hug him, and
> reminisce 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 and caviar. Also present is the Devil, who

> a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The
> elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St.
> Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time
> to visit Heaven.' So 24 hours pass with the head of
> state 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.' He reflects for a minute, then the senator
