Well, 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 created that ghastly
Windows '95. I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to
let you decide where you want to go.
Bill replied, Well, what's the difference between the two?
God said, I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, to
see if it
will help your decision.
Fine, but where should I go first?
I'll leave that up to you.
Okay then, said Bill, let's try Hell first.
So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear
waters and lots of beautiful women running around, playing in the water,
laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining; the temperature perfect.
He was very pleased. This is great, he told God. If this is hell, I really
want to see heaven.
Fine, said God, and off they went. Heaven was a place high in the clouds,
with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was nice, but not as
enticing as Hell.
Bill thought for a quick minute, and rendered his decision. Hmmm.
I think
I'd prefer Hell. He told God.
Fine, retorted God, as you desire.
So Bill Gates went to Hell.
Two weeks later, God decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he
was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill, shackled to a wall
screaming amongst hot flames in dark caves, being burned and tortured by
demons.
How's everything going? he asked Bill.
Bill responded with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, This
is awful. This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago. I can't
believe this is happening. What happened to that other place, with the
beaches and the beautiful women playing in the water????
Oh, God said, that was Hell 3.1. This is Hell 95.
