One
day while walking down the street a highly successful Human Resources Manager
was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where
she was greeted by God himself.
"Welcome
to Heaven," said God. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a
problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a Human Resources
Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with
you."
"No
problem, just let me in," said the woman.
"Well,
I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a
day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want
to spend an eternity in."
"Actually,
I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the
woman.
"Sorry,
we have rules."
And
with that God put the HR executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to
hell.
The
doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a
beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front
of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and
they were well dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and
kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an
excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed
an excellent steak and lobster dinner.
She
met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and she had a
great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that
before she knew it, it was time to leave.
Everybody
shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.
The
elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found God
waiting for her.
"Now
it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours
lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had great time
and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and God came and got her.
"So,
you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose
your eternity,"
The
woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this,
I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in
Hell."
So
God escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to
Hell.
When
the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate
wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags
and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.
The
Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
"I
don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a
golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great
time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look
miserable."
The
Devil looked at her smiled and said: ... ... ... .... .... .... .... "Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an
Employee". |
