The Pre-Election Story

I am sure most of you by now would hear some if not all of the promises and pitches by the various parties, from free health-care and free education to a voice for the youths to a party who is capable of improving our lives for the next 5 years.

Just a story to warn you in advance about campaigning. :)

Pre-Election Campaign Story

While walking down the street one day a MP is tragically hit by a truck driven by one of the many talents.

The MP's soul arrives in heaven and is met by St Peter at the gates of heaven.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "However, we have a problem. Being few of you, we seldom receive such a high official around and so we're not sure of what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the practical MP.
St Peter says, "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"Really? but I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the MP.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules here", replies St Peter.

And with that, St Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him before.

Everyone is very happy and dresses up in their Sunday's best. They gather to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had when they were ruling the country.
They play a friendly game of golf and then for dinner, they dine on fresh seafood, crabs, lobster, caviar, oysters and champagne.
Also present at the table was the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who had a good time dancing and telling jokes. They were having such a great time that before he realizes it, his 24 hours in hell was up.
Everyone gave him a hearty farewell and waved while the elevator rises up to the gates of Heaven.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St Peter was waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven," St Peter says.
So, 24 hours passed with the MP joining a group of contented peaceful souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They had a good time and the 24 hours in heaven passes by. St Peter meets the MP.
"Well, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now which will you choose for your eternity?" St Peter asks.

The MP reflects for a minute, then he answered, "Well, I never would have thought that I needed to think this through before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be happier and better off... in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The Devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," the MP stammers. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a beautiful clubhouse, and we ate crabs, lobster, caviar and oysters, drank expensive champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning..

Today .. you voted. :)"
