Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soularrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peterhimself.
"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, itseems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had aHuman Resources Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what todo 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 letyou have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choosewhicheverone 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 St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it wentdown-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping outonto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was acountry club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellowexecutives that she had worked with and they were well dressed in eveninggowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks andthey talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and atnight went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak andlobster dinner.She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy and she had a greattime telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that beforeshe 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 foundSt. Peter 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 theharp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hourswere up and St Peter came and got her.
"So, you've spent a day in Hell and you've spent a day in Heaven. Now youmust 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 greatand 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-downback to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herselfstanding in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw herfriends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting itin 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 therewas a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced andhad a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all myfriendslook miserable."
The Devil looked at her and smiled.
"Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're staff..."
