Heard this and thought it might appeal to you: Bill Gates died and went to the Peally Gates. Saint Peter stopped him and said "You have lead a good life, not outstanding, but good. Therefore I am going to allow you to choose your destination, Heaven or Hell." "Gee, that's a real tough choice," Gates said. "Let's take a tour of each and then you can make your choice," Saint Peter offered. So off they flew together through the clouds. Bursting into bright sunshine they landed on a pure white beach. Beautiful women everywhere. Cool drinks were offered to the tanning guests. "Well, this has got to be Heaven," Gates said, "Do you think they make a good Mai Tai?" "Actually, this is Hell Mr. Gates," Saint Peter said. "Well, if this is Hell I gotta see Heaven." So off they flew again, this time landing in a small village square. Older couples sat around, feeding birds, playing cards, or just passing the day with conversation. "Your kidding right? This is Heaven?" "Yes," said Saint Peter. "This is Heaven" "In that case, I'm choosing Hell," said Gates. "As you wish" Instantly Gates was inside a molten volcano. His flesh burning off of him, only to grow more, to be seared off again. Gates screamed for Saint Peter, "What about the beach" The surf? The women? " Saint Peter appeared before Gates and said, "Oh sorry, that was the beta Hell"
