Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself being sized
up by God….
“Well, Bill, I’m really confused on this call. I’m not sure
whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you helped
society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home
in America, yet you also created Windows ‘95. I’m going to do
something I’ve never done before. In your case, I’m going to
let you decide where you want to go.” “Well, what’s the
difference between the two?” Bill asks.
God says, “I’m willing to let you visit both places briefly, if
it will help your decision.” “Fine, but where should I go
first?” “I’ll leave that up to you.” “Okay, then,” says Bill.
“Let me try Hell first.”
So Bill goes to Hell. It’s a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with
clear waters and lots of beautiful women running around, playing
in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun is shining,
the temperature is perfect. He is very pleased. “This is great!”
he tells God. “If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!”
“Fine,” says God, and off they go. Heaven is a place high in
the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and
singing. It’s nice, but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thinks
for a quick minute and decides. “Hmm. I think I’d prefer Hell,”
he tells God. “Fine,” replies God. “As you desire.”
So Bill Gates goes to Hell. Two weeks later, God decides to
check on the late billionaire to see how he is doing in Hell.
When he gets there, he finds Bill shackled to a wall, screaming
amidst hot flames in a dark cave, being burned and tortured by
demons.
“How’s everything going?” he asks Bill. Bill responds, his
voice filled with anguish and disappointment, “This is awful!
This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago! I can’t
believe this is happening! What happened to that other place,
with the beaches and the beautiful women playing in the water?”
“Oh … that was the SCREENSAVER.”
