Subject: Too bad it isn't election year.

> While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" 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 man.
>
> 'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. 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 MP.
>
> '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 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 & nice guy who
> has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
> time that before he 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 on heaven where St.
> Peter is waiting for him.
>
> 'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
>
> So, 24 hours pass with the MP 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 MP 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 shoulder. 'I
> don't understand,' stammers the MP. '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 looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were
> campaigning.. ..
>
>
> Today you voted!!!'
