The Nigerian Senator

While walking down the street one day a corrupt Nigerian
Senator was tragically hit by a car and died. 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
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
played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster,
caviar and the finest 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 passed 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..”** * *
