A Senator dies and appears at Heaven's gate. He was told by St Peters that before he can enter he must experience Hell for one day and Heaven for one day. Then he must choose where he wants to go. St Peters accompany the Senator to an elevator which descends down to Hell. The elevator door opens and Hell appears. The Senator was surprised by what he saw. Hell was a country club golf course and welcoming him were former politicians that he knew. He spent a day playing golf, eating shrimp, caviar and drinking champagne in the club house. There the Senator meet Satan who was handsome, told funny jokes and entertained him. Time flew and before the Senator knew it he must leave with St Peters to go up to heaven. Arriving in heaven, the Senator spend one day listening to slow music, lounged about on the clouds and watched the dwellers meditate and prayed. It seemed like a long day but eventually it came to an end. "Where do you want to go, heaven or hell?" asked St Peters. The Senator thought for a while and replied "I want to join my friends in Hell." In a few minutes the Senator was in the elevator and it descended to Hell. The door opened and he was surprised. Hell was a hot burning waste land and his politician friends were agonizing in the heat. Satan went up to him and embraced him. "What happened? Where is the golf course and country club?" asked the Senator. Satan smiled and replied, "Yesterday we were in campaign mode, today you voted for us."

Well, it may not be according to Scripture, but I'm sure more than a few Bible students will get a chuckle out of this one.
