After a very successful career, a former Human Relations guru found herself at the pearly gates.



Welcome to Heaven, said St.Peter. Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, weve never once had a Human Resources Director make it this far, and were not really sure what to do with you, so what were 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.





With that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and went 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 all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up, kissed her and 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 (kinda 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 and opened back up at the Pearly Gates, and she found St. Peter waiting for her. Now its 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 a



great time, and before she knew it, her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her and asked her to choose.





The woman paused for a second and then replied, Well, I never thought Id say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell. So St. Peter 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 dont 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 is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.





The Devil looked at her and smiled. Yesterday, we were recruiting you, today youre staff.
