>
> While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) 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 to the ground.
>
> 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 thereof garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
>
> >>> The devil smiles at him and says,
>
>
>
> "Yesterday we were campaigning,
>
> Today, you voted.."
>
> Vote wisely on
