Were Will You Spend Eternity ??

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit
by a truck and dies.His soul arrives in heaven and is met by StPeterr at the entrance.Welcome to heaven,say 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 man.Well,i'd like to,but I have orders from high 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,StPeterr 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 very happy and in evening dress.They run to greet him,shake his hand,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,caviar and champagne.Also present is the devil,who really is 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.........The elevator goes up,up,up and the door reopens on heaven where StPeterr 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 harp and singing.They have a good time ans,before he realizes it,the 24
hours have gone by and StPeterr returns.We'll,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.So StPeterr escorts him to 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 dont understand,stammers the senater.Yesterday I was here and there
was a golf couse 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.
