Bill Gates died and found himself in purgatory being sized up
by St. Peter.
"Well, Bill, I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell.
Helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in
the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows 95.
I'm going to do something I've never done before, I'm going to
let you decide where you want to go."
Bill replied, "Well, thanks, Peter. What's the difference
between the two?"
Peter said, "I'm willing to show you both places if it will
help you make a decision." Bill said, "OK, then, show me Hell
first."
It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters.
There were thousands of beautiful women running around,
playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was
shining and the temperature was perfect.
Bill was very pleased.
"This is great!" he told Peter , "If this is Hell, I REALLY
want to see Heaven!" "Fine," said Peter and off they went.
Heaven was a high place in the clouds, with angels drifting
about playing harps and singing. It was nice but not as enticing as
Hell. Bill thought for a quick minute and rendered his decision.
"Hmm, I think I prefer Hell," he told Peter .
"Fine," replied Peter , "it is as you desire."
So Bill Gates went to Hell.
Two weeks later, Peter decided to check up on the late
billionaire to see how he was doing in. In Hell, he found Bill
shackled to a wall, screaming amongst the hot flames in a dark
cave.
He was being burned and tortured by demons.
"How's everything going, Bill?" Peter asked.
Bill responded, his voice full of anguish and disappointment,
"This is awful, this is not what I expected. I can't believe
this happened. What happened to that other place with the beaches
and the beautiful women playing in the water?"
Peter said, "Oh, that was the screen saver".
