Bill Gates dies and upon arriving at the pearly gates, he finds himself
being sized up by St. Peter.
"Well, Mr. Bill, I'm really confused on this call; I'm not sure whether
to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously helped society
by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also
delved into those destructive monopolistic business activities. I'm
going to do something I've never done before... I'm going to let you
decide where you want to go"
"So what's the difference between the two?" Bill asked.
St. Peter said, "I'll let you visit both places briefly, then you decide"
"Fine," agreed Bill. "Lets try hell first."
So Bill went to hell. It was beautiful, clean sandy beach with clear
waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the
water and laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining; the
temperature was perfect. He was very pleased.
"This is great!" Bill told St. Peter. "If this is hell, I'd really like
to see Heaven!!!"
So off they went. Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels
drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was nice, but nothing
exciting like Hell. It didn't take Bill long to reach his decision.
"I really think I prefer Hell," he told St. Peter.
So Bill goes to Hell. Two weeks later, St Peter decides to check on the
late billionaire. When he gets there he finds Bill, shackled to a
wall, screaming amongst hot flames in a dark cave, being burned and tormented
by demons.
"How's everything going?" asked Peter.
Bill' voice was filled with anguish and disappointment: "This is
awful!!! It's nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago. I
can't believe this. What happened to that place with the beautiful
beaches, the scantily clad women playing in the water?"
St. Peter just shrugged: "Oh, that was a demo... This is the release
version."
