While walking down the street one day a US
senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at
the Golden Gate.

"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
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 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 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 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 shoulder. "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 looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we
were campaigning...... Today you voted."
