A Senator's Plight.

[66bunny]

A story to think about and share before the
elections . . .

While walking down the street one day a Philippine
senator 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 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 senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups.
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 clubhouse and standing in
front of it are all his friends nd 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 a very friendly guy
who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the senator
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
in 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."

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 shoulders.

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